St Therese, the little flower about her little way

[Brigid]

In honor of St. Therese's feast day;



My little way is the way of spiritual childhood, the way of trust and absolute surrender.


St. Therese


In my little way there are only ordinary things.


St. Therese


It seems to me that if a little flower could speak, it would tell simply what God has done for it without trying to hide His blessings.


St. Therese


My way is all confidence and love.


St. Therese

This makes me think of a little flower being like a little chick going 'peep' 'peep' 'peep' trying to tell its story. 

[Brigid]

Baby chicks, baby humans, at most toddlers - those are what He must see us as.

[Brigid]

To remain a child before God means to recognize our nothingness, to expect everything from God. It is not to become discouraged over our failings, for children fall often, but they are too little to hurt themselves very much.
St. Therese of Lisieux

[Brigid]

My God, by how many different ways you lead souls!

St. Therese, the Little Flower
