"Certo dia, olhei para o céu esperando ver um milagre ou um sinal de Deus. Então percebi que tudo ao meu redor era um milagre, o costume havia me cegado."- Santa Teresinha
@Mrs_Smile___ Hum. 😂
Tellement vrai. Une collègue parlait de grève, je lui ai dit que je suis tout cœur avec elle mais ça sera sans moi.
Qui est fou ?😂😂😂😂
This line is a close echo of a locution traditionally attributed to Christ speaking to St. Teresa of Ávila: “If Paradise did not exist, I would create it for you.”
“Teresinha,” though, is the affectionate Portuguese name for the other Teresa—St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the Little Flower—whose feast was yesterday. Her own sense of heaven was almost the reverse of a private paradise made for one. Near the end she said she wanted to spend her heaven doing good on earth, that she would not rest while there were still souls to be saved, and that she would send down a shower of roses. For her, heaven was not an exclusive gift but an overflow of love that kept working.
The sentence you quoted still holds the same tenderness either way: the idea that someone’s presence is itself the reason a place of joy would be worth making.
