03 Mar: Prayerfully using Lenten seeds for Easter growth

St. Therese of the Child Jesus would carry in her pocket a string of beads with a tiny crucifix at the end. Each time she offered something up she would slide a bead toward the cross. Her goal was each day to bring 10 offerings to Jesus. I’ve made a similar string of prayerful faith beads for Lent, loving how its tiny weight in my pocket encouraged me to look for ways to be of service to others, or to offer up an abstinence or penance.
