St. Therese's Little Way of Trust and Surrender

"I feel that my mission is about to begin, my mission to make God loved as I love Him, to teach souls my little way." These words were spoken by St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower, a few months before she died. When her biological sister, Mother Agnes of Jesus, asked her about her little way, Therese replied, "It is the way of spiritual childhood, the way of trust and absolute surrender."

During these days of Lent, may you come to love Jesus the way Therese did, and have the trust in God that she had.

St. Francis of Assisi-Praises of God

The Praises of God
"You are love, You are wisdom
You are humility, You are endurance,
You are rest, You are peace,
You are joy and gladness,
You are justice and moderation,
You are all our riches,
And You suffice for us."
St. Francis of Assisi

It is good to give God the praise and adoration that is due to God. St. Francis had much to be grateful for, much reason to give God praise. St. Francis found his peace in God.
