St. Thérèse of Lisieux once said, “Everything is grace.” At first glance, it’s a simple phrase. But when we pause and unpack it, we discover a profound truth that can transform how we see every moment of our lives.
Valuing others is justice. Seeking justice coupled with the virtue of faith grows our faithfulness.
To have a posture of Faith, we must always be seeking. We must constantly turn our minds and hearts towards God in prayer and gratitude. We must be concerned with what is in our heart. I must be concerned with form and substance. Until my second half of life, it seems I was concerned more with form, how I dressed and looked, the house or neighborhood I lived in. But this lack of substance left me empty and searching for more. God was drawing me towards substance and towards goodness.
Valuing others is justice. Seeking justice coupled with the virtue of faith grows our faithfulness.
If faith is belief beyond what is seen, how effective am I looking past the surface and seeing what is in the heart? Am I always seeking to see Your face?
