Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He cherishes simplicity.
~St Therese of Lisieux
"It is like what our father St. John of the Cross said: "Since, I gave up trying to secure the good things of life, out of self-love, every kind of good thing has come my way.".
"You know well enough that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love at which we do them."
~St Therese of Lisieux
This prayer is very dear to me. I like to say it every day following night prayers, asking St Therese's intercession for some intentions very close to my heart.
PRAYER TO ST. THERESE OF THE CHILD JESUS AND THE HOLY FACE
O little Flower of Jesus, ever consoling troubled souls with heavenly graces, in your unfailing intercession I place my confident trust. From the heart of our Divine Savior, petition the blessings of which I stand in greatest need, especially..................... (here mention your intention) Shower upon me your promised roses of virtue and grace. Dear St. Therese, so that swiftly advancing in sanctity and perfect love of neighbor, I may someday receive the crown of life eternal.
St Therese pary for us!
