The Best Path

"Paul the apostle insists that the greater gifts are nothing at all without love,

and that this same love is surely the best path leading directly to God. My call is love."

~ St. Therese of Lisieux

Thérèse called this her "little way," but there is nothing small about it. To choose love as your call is to choose the most demanding path of all. Love requires us to see the sacred in the ordinary, to serve without applause, to give when depleted, to remain tender in a world that mistakes hardness for strength.
