We celebrated the feast of St. Therese on Oct. 7. This is taken from her journal, published under the title "The Story of a Soul:"
This evening, after a barren period of meditation I read this: "Here is the Master I give you. He will teach you all you need to do. I want to make you read of the science of love in the book of life." The science of love! The words echo sweetly through my soul. It is the only thing I want to know. Like the spouse in the Canticle of Canticles, "having given up all the substance of my house for love, I reckon it as nothing." I long for no other treasure but love, for it alone can make us pleasing to God.
St. Therese of Lisieux, pray for us.
