Scripture Verse- Ezekiel 30:8
“…they shall know that I am the Lord”
–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.
“If a little flower could speak, it seems to me that it would tell us quite simply all that God has done for it, without hiding any of its gifts. It would not, under pretext of humility, say that it was not pretty, or that it had not a sweet scent, that the sun had withered its petals, or the sun bruised its stem, if it knew that such were not the case.” St. Therese of Lisieux
Prayer:
“St. Therese, thank you for the reminder that each of us is wonderfully made by God. May we focus less on the flaws we see and more on the beauty that we bring to the world in our own unique ways as children of God.”
