“Every flower has its own created beauty, splendor of the rose, the lily’s whiteness does
not deprive the violet of its scent nor lessen the daisy’s charm. If every flower wanted to
be a rose, nature would lose her spring adornments and the fields would not be beautiful
with their varied flowers…so it is in the world of souls the living garden of God. It pleases
Him to create great saints. but….. Our Lord’s love shines out just as much through a little
soul that yields completely to His grace as in the greatest…..what delights Him is the
simplicity of these flowers of the field and by stooping low, He shows how infinitely great
He is.”
~ St. Thérèse of Lisieux
