Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for October 01 2006
Date: September 29, 2006 06:21 pm

Today's excerpt is from St. Therese of Lisieux:

"I ask Jesus to draw me into the flames of His love, to unite me so
closely to Him that He live and act in me. I feel that the more the fire
of love burns within my heart, the more I shall say: "Draw me," the more
also the souls who will approach me (poor little piece of iron, useless if
I withdraw from the divine furnace), the more these souls will run swiftly
in the odor of the ointments of their Beloved, for a soul that is burning
with love cannot remain inactive. No doubt, she will remain at Jesus' feet
as did Mary Magdalene, and she will listen to His sweet and burning
words... Was it not in prayer that St. Paul, St. Augustine, St. John of
the Cross, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis, St. Dominic, and so many other
famous friends of God have drawn out this divine science which delights
the greatest geniuses? A scholar has said: "Give me a lever and a fulcrum
and I will lift the world."... The Almighty has given them as fulcrum:
HIMSELF ALONE; as lever: PRAYER which burns with a fire of love. And it
is in this way that they have lifted the world; it is in this way that the
saints still militant lift it, and that, until the end of time, the saints
to come will lift it." ("Story of a Soul" Manuscript C, Chapter XI [ICS
Publications])

God Bless.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us!
