"Sentiments of charity are not enough; they must find expression."
-St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Today's Reflection:
It’s easy to say we love someone, but it’s much harder to show it. Thérèse understood this and always strove to put her love into action. While it’s easy to express our love for friends and family, it’s much harder to do so for the poor, the marginalized, the unpopular. How do I put my love into action for the needy and the overlooked? How do I express my love toward my enemies?
Dearest Thérèse, it’s so much easier to express our love verbally rather than to put it into action. Help me to make whatever sacrifices are necessary in order to show love toward those most in need.
