Thank heavens for the saints for I believe they are around to help when we ask them.
I found St. Therese in her book, Story of a Soul. She had always been with me and I hadn’t known until I recognized her in the pages of her book. It was while reading this book that I came across her dying days that told how the pen she used to write with became too heavy. She finished her last words writing with a pencil! Oh, yes, I recognized her then!
I am very familiar with that pencil St. Therese wields. She was the one who wrote on my tablet so many years ago: LOUSY WORLD BETTER LOVE NOW.
In my continuous search for spiritual knowledge I discovered the Christian mystics. I knew I had struck gold when I discovered St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross and St. Therese of Lisieux. Mysticism was the terminology applied to the practice of these saints and I recognized it immediately. I was not alone in my spiritual quest for truth.
