On the anniversary of the birth of little Therese Martin, I am thinking of her in the context of this reflection by Rodney Kissinger, S.J.:
Whether we live a long life or a short one, whether we are sickly or healthy, whether we are rich or poor, learned or uneducated, whether we accomplish much or little in this world, is only incidental. What is important is that I make the love of God visible in me, that I give the love of God credibility so that others may believe, hope and love – and be happy to be themselves.
How Therese let God's love be visible in her. How much credibility she gave it in the world. How does that love want to be made visible in you this year?
