MEMORIAL OF ST THERESE OF THE CHILD JESUS

[Alternative readings] Isaiah 66:10-14; Ps 88; Matthew 18:1-5

Trust God

The Little Flower of Lisieux was utterly convinced that God would comfort her as a mother comforts her child. She strove to trust in God as a little child trusts in a trustworthy parent. St Therese is an outstanding model of the kind of “littleness” that makes for greatness in the kingdom of heaven.
