One of my favorite quotes. They are such simple yet profound words!

(If something is bold and italicized in any of my posts I've linked it to a webpage - just put the curser over the word and click.)

"I will give everything to Jesus. When I have nothing to give I'll give Him this nothing." - my Patron Saint.

She also goes by the name .

Saint Therese of Lisieux taught a very simple way of approaching God that did away with all of the usual pomp. She called this her She taught that we can persue holiness in everyday ways - rather then going after grand and heroic things. Just being nice throughout the day is heroic enough! How can we call ourselves good if we give lots of money to charity to the admiration of others but in private we act rude to our family members or co-workers??

Jesus told us that we should love our neighbors as ourselves. I think that loving one another is the most difficult "charity" we can participate in. It's so much easier to show love to some cause that is not sitting under the same roof as we are. Even the most routine and ordinary life can offer endless chances for us to act in kindness and love. This is what attracted me to walk the path of the Little Way. I can live out the Gospels right here at my house in my ordinary and routine life. I don't have to kid myself with doing heroic showy acts of charity.
