Saint of the Day

(We pray with saints, because they are the special friends of God and can help us obtain the graces we need to help us on our earthly pilgrimage back to Him.)

Therese of Lisieux, Oct. 1: Was the path to holiness easy for Therese because she lived in a convent? As she writes in her Story of a Soul about her difficulties, she offers a lot of encouragement and hope to the rest of us. Many devotees (myself included) testify that she answers the novena addressed to her with roses. St. Therese, Little Flower of Jesus, help us to abandon ourselves to Jesus with childlike trust, and to love Him with all our hearts.
