“Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.”
— St. Thérèse of Lisieux
In a world that often celebrates grand gestures and big achievements, St. Thérèse of Lisieux gently reminds us of the quiet holiness found in the small things. A smile offered to someone who feels unseen. A kind word spoken when it’s easier to stay silent. A moment of patience when frustration tempts us.
These tiny acts may seem insignificant, but when done with love, they become powerful offerings. They soften hearts, build bridges, and reflect the tenderness of Christ in everyday life.
St. Thérèse’s “Little Way” teaches us that sanctity isn’t reserved for the heroic few—it’s available to all of us, right here, in the ordinary moments. Every small sacrifice, every gentle gesture, becomes a thread in the tapestry of divine love.
So today, let’s not miss a single opportunity. Let’s choose the smallest kindness. Let’s do it all for love.
