The little way
Opening Prayer
St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, you promised to spend your heaven doing good on earth, letting fall a shower of roses. I come to you with confidence, little saint of the little way. Teach me your path of trust and love, and present my intention to God.
Meditation
Thérèse knew she would never do great deeds. So she made a science of small ones: 'I will seek out a means of going to heaven by a little way — very short and very straight.'
Today's Prayer
St. Thérèse, teach me your little way: small things, done with great love. Amen.
Pause here and name your intention in your own words.
