"Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love."
Mad shoutouts to my homegurrrrrl St. Thérèse of Lisieux, patronness of the Mission/missionaries. Today is her feast day! I honestly believe that humility was her middle name. She proved to the world that living a life for Christ does not always mean extremes; having faith as strong as a mountain, as high as the heavens translated into simple everyday acts can be enough.
PS. Thanks Mom and Dad for naming me after someone so beautiful. You've given me a great role model to look up to. Oh, and St. Thérèse thanks for the love.... Jesus knows my heart's desires that much more because he hears two voices praying in unison- yours & mine. I know you're asking me to do more with my life, things that I never considered were possible you've helped to make it happen. You've sent me all the right people at the right time- people who also are devoted to you.
Probably also put in a good word about calling me out for my future mission life. You & Mama Mary are sneaky. Because of both of you I've been able to experience what life as woman of God can be like. Love it. Thanks for showing me the way.
You know what my heart struggles with now. Please intercede for me. I know you got my back. Love ya!
