"As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way."
-Mary Anne Radmacher
At the impromptu suggestion of my wife on her Dad's death anniversary, I took up reading a book called The Story of a Soul -The autobiography of Saint Therese de Lisieux.
The book is a compilation of writings from Saint Therese to her "mother" from her early years and it is an amazing look into a life given over to Jesus, service, and charity from an amazingly early age.
In her writings, she recalls details of her childhood and revelations about her growth that are inspirational and leave no doubt as to her "calling".
She too put he needs of others first as a means to escape any trials in her early years, and she had many trials from age 4 to 14 to deal with indeed.
It is a great lesson for us all and one the continually endures!
Stay Strong
