“Jesus does not demand great actions from us but simply surrender and gratitude…He has no need of our works but only of our love.”

Thérèse of Lisieux (1873-1897) in The Story of a Soul (Washington DC: ICS publications, 2005) 316.

Let us deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus with hearts filled with gratitude and lives that spread His love everywhere we go.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. John 13:34
