How I loved the feasts!.... I especially loved the processions in honor of the Blessed Sacrament. What a joy it was for me to throw flowers beneath the feet of God!... I was never so happy as when I saw my roses touch the sacred Monstrance.

Therese of LisieuxWhen we yield to discouragement it is usually because we give too much thought to the past and to the future.
