Be generous in renunciation, fasting and prayer…

St. Therese of the Child Jesus

Dear Family of Mary!

Today is the Memorial of St. Therese of Lisieux! Her story is well known. Once she understood her call she never turned from it. As a young girl she gave herself to Jesus, and never looked back!! She often said, “My God…I desire to love you and make you loved!” And she did just that!

Our Lady calls us to do the same! Our job is to pray and sacrifice for the conversion of souls, just as St. Therese did. Let Our Lady’s words encourage us in this task:

“Dear children!

I am calling you to be generous
in renunciation, fasting and prayer
for all those who are in temptation,
and are your brothers and sisters.

In a special way I am imploring you
to pray for priests and for all the consecrated,
that they may love Jesus still more fervently;
that the Holy Spirit may fill their hearts with joy;
that they may witness Heaven and Heavenly mysteries.

Many souls are in sin,
because there are not those who sacrifice themselves
and pray for their conversion.

I am with you and am praying
that your hearts may be filled with joy.

Thank you for having responded to my call.”

May we be those who sacrifice ourselves and pray for the conversions of our brothers and sister! St. Therese, pray for us!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
