Subject: The Next Novena: To the "Greatest Saint of Modern Times"
<riseabovecircumstances@gmail.com>
| Stephanie Gustavson - Peace be with you! The next novena we're going to pray as a community is one of our favorites, it's the St. Therese of Lisieux Novena! Pope Pius X called St. Therese "the greatest saint of modern times." She's well known for her "little way" spirituality of doing small, ordinary things that you do every day with extraordinary love. She wrote in her autobiography, "What matters in life is not great deeds, but great love." We will start praying this novena next Tuesday, September 22nd. Don't forget to share! St. Therese suffered a great deal in her life. She lost her mom when she was a young girl. One of her older sisters became like a second mother to her, and St. Therese "lost" her when her sister entered a convent. St. Therese also suffered from chronic illness and depression. Through it all, she continued to look towards Jesus. She's a great example for all of us -- a reminder to cling to Jesus through whatever each of us may be going through right now. Let's look to Jesus! Your friends & family can sign up to pray with us here: https://www.praymorenovenas.com/st-therese-novena You are already signed up to receive the novena :) We're looking forward to praying with you and for you!

It's a decision and a choice that you and I can make, to not let the behavior choices of others control your behavior or mine.
Why give others power over thyself ??
