EVERYTHING IS GRACE

St. Therese of Lisieux, known as ‘The Little Flower’, was born in France, entered the convent at a very young age and died of tuberculosis in her early 20s. Years after her death, they found her diary. To many, she’s considered a spiritual giant, a heavyweight. She had a spiritual practice called ‘The Little Way,’ and everything she did, she did it with the utmost level of intentionality, whether it was sweeping floors or washing dishes or making beds or cleaning bed pans. She offered a great quote that said, ‘Everything is grace. Everything is a direct result of the Father’s love for us. So, no matter the difficulties you face, however trivial or serious, they’re basically all an opportunity.’

We each reach a point in our journey where all of a sudden things start going wrong in life, but it’s OK. Everything is grace. Everything is an opportunity.
