I always wanted to be some like the saints and wanted God’s love but it never came my way I thought in the way I invisaged it to be, maybe i wasn’t good enough.
i want to share tis with you in these times hopefully to empower you as it has me. i went to a retreat one day in the 1970-80s. It was really cold in July NZ. I thought that it would be God’ly to have a cold shower but it was toooo cold. I thought mayby you could turn off the hot water Lord. Well all of a sudden the water went really cold, but the funny thing is that my only thouhgt was that jesus did this for my sins, not regarding the cold, my sins or any other thing so why couldn’t I?
I felt though so akin to Jesus and just put my arms out and gave praise to God for Jesus. Later, i wanted a book to read since the monastory was full of books of the saints. In the many books, one book stood out, it was one of a saint i had not known much about. St Therese the little flower.
I red this book and decided that if she could forgive and be little and work with the people no one wanted to be with, then i also could be like her. I wanted to do what she did and to this day i have never regretted that move.
That is a little, I hope someone is inspired for the change in their life.
God bless

One of my favorite Saints. I do not like “too sweet” saints. But this is different. She was a brave sweet Lady. Patron of the Missions, believe me.

St Theresa of Little Jesus os the Patron of Missions. Amazing !! How come? She never went outside her convent!! And that is the beautiful side of it and what the Church teaches us, prayer is a MUST for a Christian. You may go around millions of Kms preaching and nothing happens because you have not God inside you (and, of course, I am doing an hyperbole). But if you pray, you are connected to the Infinite Power, God, who can operate miracles and change the world.

For her prayer and sacrifices, she was chosen to be the Patron of Missions, teaching us that if you want to spread the Gospel of God besides preaching and discussing and arguing, most of your time you have got to PRAY.

I love her and I do not know why, because I do not like much “too sweety” saints. I like more Mother Theresa, St.Francis Xavier, people who DID things. But in her we are taught that it is not wo DO things, it it GOD. And She is nice, I like her.

This surely proves the point that it is God who is working through the person who gives their whole to Him and that many marvels will come about when giving yourself to God is your desire.
