"If the greatest sinner on earth should repent at the moment of death and draw his last breath in an act of love, neither the man graces he had abused, nor the many sins he had committed would stand in his way.  Our Lord would see nothing, count nothing, but the sinner's last prayer, and without delay he would receive him into the arms of his mercy."

Kind and merciful Lord Jesus, thank you for only looking at us through the lens of love, only valuing our love.  Teach us, through the intercession of our friend, St Therese, to tap our imagination to offer you little delights of love, little prayers through the day, little acts of sacrifice of our welf-will, little acts of mercy to those near us, so that we may both show our love and by spending our reserves, in your economy of love, increase our love and give better witness to your kingdom.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
