-Scripture:
Jude 20-21
But you, beloved grow strong in your holy faith through prayer in the Holy Spirit. Persevere in God’s love and welcome the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which leads to eternal life.
–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.
“Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, not even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them.”
St Therese of Lisieux
Prayer:
“St. Therese, help us remember to focus not so much on our actions but rather on the intention with which we are doing them. For it is in the meaning or the why of what we are doing that we find true joy.”
