The only way I can prove my love
is by scattering flowers,
and these flowers are every little sacrifice,
every glance and word,
and the doing of the least actions for love.
--St. Thérèse de Lisieux
There is a quality I see in the great, selfless people that I have met. They have made peace with the inadequacy of life, no longer demanding that others make them happy, and find real joy in being able to sacrifice their time, their dreams, and their lives so that others might have more life.
Our faith needs to give us the tools to handle that, namely, to help us come to grips with the fact that we live and die in incompleteness.
--Fr. Ron Rolheiser OMI
