Quotes: "I cannot tell you how deeply I was impressed with this scenery so full of poetry and grandeur. It was a foretaste of the wonders of Heaven. Then the thought of religious life would come before me, as it really is, with its constraints and its little daily sacrifices made in secret. I understood how easily one might become wrapped in self and forget the sublime end of one's vocation, and I thought: "Later on, when the time of trial comes, when I am enclosed in the Carmel and shall only be able to see a little bit of sky, I will remember this day and it will encourage me." (Connor quoting The Story of a Soul: Chapter VI, 3:10). “Here’s hoping that you probably like this.” (Rob, 4:55)  “We have a desire as men to not live in the pretend fake world, but to live in reality; that is costly, but it’s so much more substantial.” (Connor, 9:05) “I’d much rather be a real person who loves real people.” (Connor, 11:00) “I can use my words to build someone up, which is actually a cooperation with the creative word of God.” (Mike, 12:30) “It’s safer in the longterm to constantly live in the truth because reality will break through eventually.” (Mike, 12:54) “She (St. Therese) suffered the violence of grace in the most ordinary moments.” (Rob, 17:52) “Therese lived fully in the moment while looking completely to Heaven, which isn’t the future, it was reality.” (Mike, 19:23) “The more real you become to yourself and others the less you are interested in people not being real to you.” (Connor, 25:14)  “You are one of a kind, but you’re not the center of the universe and you don’t need to be.” (Connor, 36:17) Media Mentions: St. Therese of Lisieux's The Story of a SoulRule 8: Tell the truth.
