Should not St. Therese of Lisieux have been the patron saint of the 60s and 70s.

Inspired by St Theses of Lisieux Every act is about God, the consciousness of this and action are what build saints.

St. Therese didn’t set the world on fire when she was alive. She isn’t credited with any miracles during her lifetime. She lived a simple unassuming life, dedicating all the “little things” of her daily existence to the glory of God. She tried always to do the loving things that would please God and benefit His children. She had a child’s bold confidence in God’s love.

Right now, I am eating some organic chips with flax seed and drinking an organic green tea. Small things, what do they have to do with God? The body is the container of the soul, I must care for it from that perspective. In this country, it's fashionable to eat any old thing, and believe me I've done. 100% of ground beef contains fecal matter, some corporations are including rice shaped pieces of plastic to increase the weight and thus the price of their product. What exactly is a Cheeto? Why do our processed foods need artificial flavoring and coloring? Could it be that no one would ingest them if the saw and tasted like what they are? What exactly is artificial coloring? What exactly is artificial flavoring?

The US economy is driven by consumer spending. We can change things simply be eating in a fashion that protects and nurtures our bodies and does no harm.

While so many are consumed by bigger, faster, better, and more, myself included, is this attitude in the direction of God. God sees the small things done with great love are these the loving components of our accelerated life in the twenty-first Century?

Is choosing to live off the grid motivated by love of God?

Each small thing that we do can be contained within itself or a component of a larger action the leads into the next small component. Is it Possible to do each and every one of these out of love for God?

I am sitting ins a Starbuck’s listening to the music of the day, it is filled with people some coming some going, is it filled with love of God? I must be or the very building would crumble.

Am I showing the love of God, or should I get up and work through the room shaking hands with everyone looking to their eyes.

Do these people know that one day this music will be as old as “I Wanna Hold Your Hand.”

How do you explain Beatlemania to someone who did not experience it? Should not St. Therese Lisieux have been the patron saint of the 60s and 70s. Did she pray for Janis Joplin.

How do you explain Jesus Christ to someone who has not experienced Him?

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant
searching for fine pearls.
When he finds a pearl of great price,
he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.

Small actions done with great love.
