–Scripture-Thank you, Kathleen
Psalm 4:4
“Know that the Lord does wonders for his faithful one; the Lord hears me when I call upon him.”
–Quote of a Carmelite Saint-St. Therese of Lisieux-For the 150th anniversary of the birth of St.Therese Advent with St. Therese of Lisieux-Susan Hines-Brigger, Franciscan media (adapted for the current liturgical season). Thank you, Carmelite Nuns.
“When something painful or disagreeable happens to me, instead of a melancholy look, I answer by a smile. At first I did not always succeed, but now it has become a habit which I am glad to have acquired.”
Prayer:
“St. Therese, your example of greeting situations with kindness and a smile is a powerful reminder for us to focus on what is truly important during this Lenten season. May you be a daily inspiration for us to smile in the face of frustration.”

“Indeed we have heaven within ourselves for the Lord of Heaven is there.”
