St. Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face

Feast day of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face.
                         The 'Little Flower', Doctor of the Church
            (and my patron saint---along with Our Lady of Guadalupe)
                                   Ora pro nobis.

We will spend eternity getting to know and love God and each other.
“Each soul created by God is a great mystery fathomed only through the eyes of the Heart of God’s Love.”       ~ St. Padre Pio   
The Good God has such a good heart that when He sees you weep, He will wipe away your tears and pick you up and love you.   I do not fear to run to my Father, even when I have failed, for I know He will forgive me and love me.  ~St.Therese of Lisieux
                    The first response of God is always love and mercy.
I am just a little child entrusted to the Father.  The privileges of Jesus are only for little ones for He said, “Unless you become as a little child you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.”  In trying to learn to walk, a child often falls down but the Father always gently picks her back up to try again. The Mother washes her child off and clothes her anew with ‘butterfly kisses’ and blesses her child on her way again.   A child knows she has only “empty hands” to give but she can always return love to her Father and her Mother.  God wants not great deeds of us but great love.
   When we close our eyes to sleep in Jesus’ arms, we will be judged by our Love for one another.—St. John of the Cross
                        ============
So if you don’t want to ever fear again…give all your prayers and sufferings and love for others and seek no reward for yourself but for them and God will hasten to repay this great love He sees in your heart so like His own! 
            “ In lowering myself so low, so low,….
               He raised me so high, so high.” 
 Our Lady pray for us.
                       Be not afraid
                         He is at your side
                                 Believe in Him
                           Jesus Christ our Lord
                                 In Him alone
                      You will have nothing to fear
