"I realised thoroughly that Joy is not found in the things which surround us , but joy lives in the soul.
One could possess it as well in an obscure prison as in the palace of a king.
And so now I am happier here at the Carmel, in the midst of trials within and without, than I was in the world where I had everything I wanted, and above all else, all the joys of a happy home."
- St. Therese de Lisieux, The Little Flower
