Everyone loves earning Little Flowers!
Day 7 – Wednesday, March 8
Today we learn more about charity, love for others. St. Thérèse reminds us that when we act in
love it is JESUS who acts through us!
But the devil does not like it when we are good and he will try to tempt
us by reminding us of what our sister or brother or friend has done wrong. He does this to try to get us angry with them
again. Yet, we must face it and replace
it! If we are trying to do a loving
thing and then we remember when that person was mean, we can stop and think
‘no! this is a child of God!’ and then quickly think of the good that person
has done. And always remember that
people do many good deeds that we may never see! Always err on the side of love!
In
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Lord Jesus,
please help us to love others and see their goodness! Please come in our hearts and help us love as
you loved.
St. Thérèse teaches
us:
“I
feel that when I am charitable it is Jesus alone who acts in me; the more I am
united to Him the more do I love all my Sisters. If, when I desire to increase
this love in my heart, the demon tries to set before my eyes the faults of one
or other of the Sisters, I hasten to call to mind her virtues, her good
desires; I say to myself that if I had seen her fall once, she may well have gained
many victories which she conceals through humility; and that even what appears
to me a fault may in truth be an act of virtue by reason of the intention.” Story of A Soul, Chapter IX
Lord
Jesus, we love you with our whole hearts.
Come live in our hearts and let your love shine through us! Help us to love others generously and
selflessly.
Our
Father …
Hail
Mary …
Glory
