St. Therese of Lisieux --- 3 of 3 and Addendum
Saturday, Dec. 22, 2007
Final page of excerpts of a talk on St. Therese:

She is a doctor of the Church. I know no other thing to reach perfection but it is through love. It is all important to fill our lives with acts of love to come and to see the vision of God. In the evening of life my vocation is Love.

We can’t love if we are not little. Can we do things with love? To love more and do things for God and the lives of others:

Think of the person you love the least in your life; that is how much you love God. One loves God in the measure one loves another. She will offer up hidden sacrifices. She was always with Sisters who are difficult to get along with. She did this to please Jesus. … St. John of the Cross … We have to try and keep trusting. St. Therese wanted her whole life to become one single act of perfect love.

We are asking for that love that has been rejected by others. We can make sacrifices for others. To make God loved. Offering of Mystical Love and offering to the Merciful Love. “I was on fire with love.” St. John of the Cross. Few persons have reached these heights.

There is a charism of Therese. It was not meant for herself. It is my weakness that overcomes her weakness. God is not loved enough. He is so good and kind. At her death her last words, My God I love you. She went into ecstasy. What did she see? The statue of our Lady: She saw her judgment.

Do things with love. To please Jesus. Believe in his mercy. To love those who are most difficult. Pray with love for the conversion of sinners, especially for priests. It is to love and please Jesus. God will account us for not praying for priests. Priests are weak and are sinners. Priests need prayers. You can save others. Pray for Priests, it is an act of love for Jesus.
