Saint Theresa's Prayer (St Therese of Lisieux): The Little Flower

"May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of Faith (Hope & Love).
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us."
Amen!
According to Dustbury and other blogsites I've visited:
"In case anyone is interested, Saint Theresa is known as the Saint of the Little Ways. Meaning she believed in doing the little things in life well and with great love. She is also the patron Saint of flower growers and florists. She is represented by roses. May everyone be blessed who receives this message."
This was received via email as a chain letter. Since I don't like chain letters that "requires" you to forward it to receive some blessing or reward, I am posting here for all to read and reflect. For more information regarding St Theresa or I believe St Therese of Lisieux; the "Little Flower", click title link or here.
There is also a prayer by St Teresa of Avila, which some attributes to St Therese of Lisieux as well:
"Let nothing disturb you.
Let nothing frighten you.
All things are passing; God only is changeless.
Patience gains all things.
Who has God wants nothing.
God alone suffices."
