Think of a time you tried to untie a “knot” in your life. Did you get frustrated? Know that Mary our mother is patient and gentle with the sorrows and challenges that you bring to her.

Listen to the sounds of nature in your world—the swoosh of leaves, the bend of branches. Even if you’re in a parking lot or on a city street, there’s beauty everywhere, calling to you.

Today, as you face life’s changes, find comfort in the doxology prayer commonly called the “Glory Be.” See how God has been there through all your changes and challenges, even the hardest ones.

Doors are such a large part of our lives and yet we never really think about them when we pass through them.

Often we keep our faith hidden away, but simply telling of God’s help brings light to the world. Today, don’t hesitate to share the truth of how your faith has guided you.

Honor St. Thérèse of Lisieux today by thinking of all the small things you do to try to be the best and most loving person you can be.
