Wordle #181: St. Therese de Lisieux

Wordle #181

Peering into the lives of the saints 

provides a connected and vital chain to our risen Lord.  

With that connection, 

my speech takes on a new importance 

in radiating no harm to others.  

For which of us broken humans 

needs a word (such as name-calling) or action 

that strips away any divinity that is left in us?  

Signs of help for us can be found in a poem 

from the likes of St. Therese de Lisieux.   

So let’s raise our goblets to St. Therese 

(who, even as she lay on the sheets of her bed) 

gave us a sense that we too can strive for holiness 

in ‘little ways’ as she did.

As my faithful readers can see, 

I've been drawn back to this place.

I won't be writing here on a daily basis,

but St. Therese and Mother Mary 

are whispering in my ear...
