St. Therese of the Little Flower
Look at all of the stars in the sky and how they shine.
There are so many and yet each one is unique and has a role to play in guiding us and enlightening us.
St Therese of Lisieux was like a star in the sky.
Just one among millions.
How could she stand out?
How could she let her light shine?
She said to herself, that she was not a scholar, a priest or a bishop.
She was not a missionary and had no talents or gifts to make her stand out.
She was just a simple Carmelite nun living in a small, unknown Convent in Normandy.
What could she do?
How could she shine?
Until One day she realized that her gift was to love!
It was the greatest gift of all and the one that would last forever.
So she set her heart on love.
Love in the small things;
Love in the simple, ordinary, everyday things.
And because she did, she shone brightly among all the stars.
