DAY 6: Short Meditation of the Day

Leonie, the 3rd daughter of the Martin family, was unable to follow the path of her sisters when everything was working out for them. She endured pain and misery during her schooling, was unstable in her choices. However, she was very diligent in learning from Therese on her 'little path'. Far from being afraid of it, she would learn to love her dear poverty.   "When I'm in heaven, I'll take care of Leonie" said Therese. 

Therese, you kept your word for your sister, the lame duck among the Martin sisters. After your entry into heaven, you took care of Leonie who entered the covent of Visitation. She would never leave it and was your best disciple. She knew she was poor, but she learned how to offer herself to the love of God, just like you Therese. To this God who has given himself, she gave herself without reserve.

O Little Therese of the Child Jesus Please pick for me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me as a message of love. O Little Flower of Jesus, ask God to grant the favors I now place with confidence in your hands (mention your special prayer request here) St. Therese, help me to always believe as you did, in God's great love for me, so that I may imitate your "Little Way" each day. Amen You can end with one Hail Mary
