The Little Flower

I was reminded of this prayer in the Sundance catalog yesterday. St. Therese was known as “The Little Flower of Jesus.” I thought that it was apropos post for a Sunday and a good post to come to again and again, when we come upon days of fear and doubt and worry. Know that the peace within, the infinite possibilities, and the love that has been given, are the birthrights of all of us, all children of God. It really is that simple. St. Therese is known and honored for “the simplicity and practicality of her approach to the spiritual life.” In a complicated world, full of the complexities of the mind, it is a beautiful thing to come back to the beautiful, simple, flowering bloom, of the heart and of the soul.
