“In trial or difficulty I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.”                                                    

                          -St. Therese of Lisieux          

For Reflection:           

Read a biographical sketch of St. Therese’s life (you can access a complete biography at www.littleflower.org ) When might Therese have sought recourse to Mary’s “glance"?  Consider the life of Our Lord. At what moments would Mary's glance have helped dissipate His fear? Meditate on this for a few minutes. In your life right now, in what one way do you most need to experience Mary’s glance? Ask her to look your way. Sit with her gaze upon you until you feel at peace.
