PROTOTYPE — the ordinariness of holiness.

A moment from their life

Thérèse spoke of picking up a pin for love.

Scripture

Colossians 3:17

Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Reflection

The Little Flower had need to strike its tender roots deeper and deeper into the dearly loved garden of home, for nowhere else could it find the nourishment it required.

A small practice

Notice any moment of suffering today, and ask God to bring you joy and to show you His will.

Prayer

My God, Thou alone knowest all that I suffered.

Journal prompt

What am I suffering? What brings me joy today? What vanity in my life is God calling me to be humbled?
