You ask me a method of attaining perfection. I know of love - and only love. Love can do all things.

You know well enough that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them.

"I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul."




Blesseds Zelie Guerin

Parent of Saint Thérèse de Lisieux
