My travel schedule remains quite busy, so today’s post will be short. Today is the feast day of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, a Carmelite nun who lived a short life from 1873 to 1897.
I ran across this in Celtic Daily Prayer, from The Song of Simeon:
And now You’re here–
the light is shining where
the darkness used to be–
and all the world
is a different place…
…and every single day a fresh beginning.
As St. Thérèse once said, “May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.”

Domini Canes 
Quite a popular and ‘well-traveled’ saint. I remember lining up a few blocks, this was some few years back, to see the Relics of St Therese when it visited a local parish.
“May you be content knowing you are a child of God.” St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Onetenth,
I pray that I will be content knowing that, and that you will find peace there as well.
God’s great peace,
Br. James
Thank you for your prayers. God bless you too.

Short maybe but very meaningful to me. Thank you, Brother.
As always, you’re most welcome my sister.
Grace and peace,
Br. James
What a blessing it is to know that when we are present our light in shining in the midst of a sin darkened world.
Rob,
It is a great blessing, and is perhaps the fundamental message of the Cross.
God watch over thee and me, my friend,
Br. James
You find the most beautiful prayers. Thanks that he is here.

Carole,
Yes, it’s lovely, isn’t it? His presence fills us with joy and gratitude, and I hope it always will.
With great affection,
Br. James
