I thought it would be appropriate to create my first post on the feast day of a saint who lived her life with love. St. Therese showed us that even the small things in life need to be done with great amounts of love. It is in that idea that we shall find eternal life in heaven with our Loving Creator. You may say that it's easy to do things with love when you live apart from the world in a monastery like St. Therese did. On the contrary, she would probably tell us it is easier to do things with love because we have a greater amount of opportunities to do so! St. Therese changed the world by living a life of love from the inside the walls of a monastery. Just imagine how we could change lives around us by doing simple things with love everyday. To love is to be like Christ, for His love is the greatest of loves. St. Therese knew this, and by the life she lived, shared this love with all she encountered.
So on this her feast day remember to love! Tell your family and friends how much they are loved. Let everything you do today be for love of God.
"The only thing I wish for... is to love until I die of love." -St. Therese
"I will spend my heaven doing good on earth." -St. Therese
