I have not checked the entire thread to see if someone said this already... I heard the house that St. Therese was born in was burned to the ground in the last week...Not at Lesuix https://www.facebook.com/groups/305451908016773/?ref=share&mibextid=CTbP7E
From Sr. Julia Mary Darrenkamp Fsp: “Imperfect” for most means anything but happy. We want to be the best, top of our game, experts in our field, capable, strong, self-sufficient. But happy? For that, we need to learn from the “best” in heavenly wisdom, and Therese is a great teacher. Today’s her feast day…so instead of striving, let’s try surrender. That was one of her strengths: trustful surrender. But it can also be ours. And so can the happiness that comes with it. Art by Nicole Lanthier
The Little Flower has played a significant role in my family, especially last century. My Grandfather Dan had a deep devotion to her, I was born on her birth date of January 2, and my son Benjamin was born on her feast day of October 1. Dear Therese, continue to intercede for the O'Loughlin clan that we remain faithful to to God and His Church!
Prayers and help from st therese .my elderly parents were attending holy hour and came home to their house broken into .they are very shaken.the devil obviously not happy about the work being done in holy hour what a pathetic creature he is.
I am so sorry to hear that. We had a knock on our door this evening from a man saying he was from the Utility company and wanted to see our gas bill to see if we were overcharged. He had an official looking gas company I.D. I told him to move on. There were two of them going up and down the street. I called the police and they sent a driver out, have not seen them since. I don't think they were legit . . .so many scams, so many shady characters out there.
What a blessing that they weren't home when the perpetrators arrived! A great sign that they were at Holy Hour. God is watching over and protecting them.
It was lovely to have an entire Feast Day in honour of St Therese and so to have more time to think about her. My big takeaway was her deep love of Scripture. It is not something you hear people talking a lot about but clearly her life revolved around the Bible.
So sad. Prayers for your parents! So unsettling when feeling so vulnerable. Holy Spirit, comfort Mylordandmygod's family with Your peace beyond understanding!
