"For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy."
I really love this quote from St. Thérèse on prayer. Prayer isn't as complicated as we sometimes make it out to be! It can be as simple as turning our attention to God for a brief moment as we go about our daily tasks. Certainly there is a time and place for longer and more formal prayers, but turning the eyes of our heart to God throughout the day is also a prayer, and a very beautiful one!
St. Thérèse of Lisieux has long been one of my favorite saints, and I hope to start sharing more of her wisdom! :) <3
