do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm.
If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.” 

 “Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.” 

 “For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.” 

 “Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.” 

 “The world's thy ship and not thy home.” ]]> 2018-09-20 08:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283785044 Introduction KaciBB0927 https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283785106  Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, born Marie Françoise-Thérèse Martin, also known as Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, O.C.D., was a French Catholic Discalced Carmelite nun who is widely venerated in modern times.

She had 3 sisters who became nuns and carmalites as well: Leonie, Genevieve and Marie-Pauline. She also had 2 other brothers and 2 other sisters: Marie-Odile, Marie- Melanie, Joseph Louis and Joseph-Jean.

As a child she says that she was surrounded by love and she also had a loving nature. Yet the experience of love began to unravel somewhat when she lost her own mother at age four and a half and then again when her sister Pauline, her second mother, went off to the convent of Lisieux. Is there a permanent love? What does love mean when there is suffering? Where does fulfillment exist? Everyone asks questions about love. What is love really, how am I to understand its ways? ]]> 2018-09-20 08:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283786110 nicoleob https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283786488 2018-09-20 08:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283786488 23rsupple https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283786541

Leonie Martin entered the Visitation Convent at Caen the following year. Therese then sought permission from her father to join Marie and Pauline at the Lisieux Convent. Louis was probably expecting the request, but it saddened him nevertheless. Three of his girls had already entered religious life. But, characteristically generous, he not only granted Therese's request, but worked zealously to help her realize it. ]]> 2018-09-20 09:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283788644 The Story of a Soul KaciBB0927 https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283789800 The Story of a Soul is the autobiography of Thérèse of Lisieux, a French Discalced Carmelite nun, later recognized as a saint.

From then on, her powerful energy and sensitive spirit were turned toward love, instead of keeping herself happy. At 15, she entered the Carmelite convent in Lisieux to give her whole life to God. She took the religious name Sister Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face. Living a hidden, simple life of prayer, she was gifted with great intimacy with God. Through sickness and dark nights of doubt and fear, she remained faithful to God, rooted in His merciful love. After a long struggle with tuberculosis, she died on September 30, 1897, at the age of 24. Her last words were the story of her life: "My God, I love You!" ]]> 2018-09-20 09:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283791009 KaciBB0927 https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283791829 2018-09-20 09:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283791829 The discovery of the 'little way KaciBB0927 https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283792087 Thérèse entered the Carmel of Lisieux with the determination to become a saint. But, by the end of 1894, six full calendar years as a Carmelite made her realize how small and insignificant she was. She saw the limitations of all her efforts. She remained small and very far off from the unfailing love that she would wish to practice. She understood then that it was on this very littleness that she must learn to ask God's help. Along with her camera, Céline had brought notebooks with her, passages from the Old Testament, which Thérèse did not have in Carmel. (The Louvain Bible, the translation authorized for French Catholics, did not include an Old Testament). In the notebooks Thérèse found a passage from Proverbs that struck her with particular force: "Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me" (9:4)]]> 2018-09-20 09:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmurphy/yxi43zmmscva/wish/283792087
