The Caregivers

"Who will teach me what is most agreeable to God, so that I may do it?"

St. Kateri Tekakwitha


Two months before the next Christmas it may be profitable to think once again about the mysteries of divinity and humanity of Christ. “Why Our Lord came to us as an infant? Because He is God He should have rather manifested his presence as a great and majestic ruler” – some will probably claim. These people, however, should be aware that not all great rulers in world's history are remembered well. Children on the other hand aren't scary at all; on contrary, they are pure love. The one that needs and –  through the divine plan – may be answered better.

Saints Kateri Tekakwitha & Therese of Lisieux, pray so we all may become the most zealous missionaries and caregivers of the Baby Jesus.

The Able-souled People

We are tempted to think that only able-bodied people can be happy. In fact, they may be, to some smaller or bigger extent, content with their current situation. Happiness, however, has nothing to do with a mere contentment. The former is closely related to one's relationship with God, the later – I am almost sure of this  –  overrates the role of  limited human senses.

The true happiness is, just like its Creator and your immortal soul, eternal. Thus it will be difficult for you to be really happy – regardless of your physical or mental features - unless you are an able-souled person.

St. Therese of the Child Jesus, the patroness of sick people, pray for us!

The Roselike Graces

When we are on the cross -- whether due to our disability, illness or pain -- we act as a teachers & students of love at the same time. We teach other people that sufferings of an individual can be transformed out of -- and into -- love and we learn about the Love of God, our Creator, Who left no humans' experience unused.

Jesus himself showed us this while experiencing his own crucifixion: the bigger his own pain was, the wider his arm were stretched.

Your illness may not be the easiest thing to bear, yet the Love that Jesus' has for all who try to imitate Him will take the burden off your back turning it someday into the rain of roselike graces for you and the whole world.

St. Therese, pray for us!

This can be your mission too (just turn your TV on)

My life is an instant,
An hour which passes by;
My life is a moment
Which I have no power to stay.
You know, O my God,
That to love You here on earth -
I have only today.

—St. Therese of Lisieux

St. Therese's mission of saving as many souls as she possibly could for Christ began when She realised how much of His precious Blood had been outpoured, and how much He had thirsting for our goodness. She was so moved for almost nobody seemed to care about this situation.

Is His situation better today?

Today you don't have to be a mystic in order to see Jesus in need-
all it takes is to turn your TV set on and watch coverages from Haiti, Somalia, Pakistan etc.

Whatever you did for "the little ones" of these countries, you did to Him.

Pray that you may do what is right.

Just do it with love ( message for busy men)

Saint Therese of Lisieux has been proclaimed 33th Doctor of the Church not for some outstatnding intelectual skills of her.

In fact, she was not a theologian, she just knew the power of Love( that is the ultimate condition for sainthood).

 The One that can be practiced by virtually anyone. No matter if you are 9 year-old or 99 year-old- you still can offer all your deeds ( small or big ones alike)  with greater love.

And you alwars have so many things to do, haven't you?

St. Therese, pray for us!
