Theresa of the Child Jesus (1878-1897)
Isaiah 66:10-14. Matthew 18:1-5

The world is yours, for the Lord your God, father of all born into the world, has loved you into being: I speak to every one of the Father’s beloved sons and daughters. And you are offered entry into the Father’s Kingdom of Eternal Life and Light and Love - and progress in the Way - by responding to the Father who constantly speaks to you and to every one of His beloved sons and daughters in the grace and power of His love.

Let heart and mind be open to receive the Father’s will in all things - His loving purpose is gradually revealed to all who seek to walk faithfully in the Way through Love’s indwelling and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit.

In humility and absolute self-giving offer all you have and all you are to your loving heavenly Father, Lord Most High. All identifying with the suffering love of the Son of Man, led and guided by Our Holy Spirit, are given to share in the power and the victory of ‘Him who bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors’. (Isaiah 53:12)

‘To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul’. Theresa of the Child Jesus.
