A Guide Through Lent<br />
from Saint Therese’s autobiography “Story of a Soul.”<br />
Fifth Week: Embrace Others with Love<br />
March 17—March 23<br />
Sunday: The most beautiful thoughts are nothing<br />
without good works.<br />
* Review your journey with Therese this Lent. What has<br />
been most difficult? Try it again.<br />
Monday: He is always using His creatures as<br />
instruments to carry on His work in souls.<br />
*Be alert for messengers of God in disguise.<br />
Tuesday : Ah! What peace floods the soul when she<br />
rises above natural feelings.<br />
*Therese was speaking of annoyance and impatience. Rise<br />
above such feelings and welcome peace.<br />
Wednesday: It is not enough to give to everyone<br />
who asks; I must even anticipate their desires, appear<br />
to be very much obliged and honored to render<br />
services.<br />
*Seek our opportunities to serve others and thank them<br />
for allowing you to be of help.<br />
Thursday: I set myself to doing for this (very<br />
disagreeable) Sister what I would do for the person I<br />
loved the most.<br />
*Therese writes of a sister she would not naturally<br />
befriend. That sister later asked Therese what she found<br />
so pleasant in her! Can you set the bar this high.<br />
Friday: A word, an amiable smile, often suffice to<br />
make a sad soul bloom.<br />
*Practice amiability today.<br />
Saturday: I can see with joy that in loving Him the<br />
heart expands and can give to those who are dear to<br />
it.<br />
*Lent is a time to become more loving—and giving. What<br />
have you given? Search your heart for more to give.<br />
