St. Theresa of the Child Jesus
Isaiah 66:10-14. Matthew 18:1-5

Blest and productive in good works are the humble and the pure in heart who seek the Father’s will and do it in the grace and power of His all-embracing Love.

But more than that, they reflect the grace and beauty of the Father’s Presence and draw to His Kingdom of eternal life and light and love many who seek to follow in the Way and are encouraged and inspired by their faithfulness and absolute self-giving.

Let one and all be challenged by the earnest seeking and eager trust of the young in spirit. It is written,’ The faithful shall abide with Him in Love’ (Wisdom 3:9) and so it is for each and every one of the Father’s beloved sons and daughters who, in the power and joy of their humility, seek nothing but the Father’s will and loving purpose. To them, the trusting ones, the Holy One speaks ‘The eternal God is thy refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms’. (Deuteronomy 33:27.A.V.)
