The Little Way of Love - Catholic (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Source: Saints illustration86 words

St. Thérèse of Lisieux discovered her vocation: "In the heart of the Church, I will be love." She couldn't be a missionary or martyr, but she could love in small ways—kindness to an irritating nun, cheerfulness in suffering, prayers for priests she'd never meet. "Love is patient, love is kind"—she practiced patience with the sister who splashed her during laundry, kindness to the cook who served food she disliked. The "Little Way" is 1 Corinthians 13 in daily details. Are you loving in the small moments?
