Full sweet is the way of Love.

Excerpt

"Love hath so wrought in me since I have known its sway, that all within me, whether good or ill, it makes subservient to the end it seeks, and soon transforms my soul into itself." Full sweet is the way of Love. It is true one may fall and be unfaithful to grace; but Love, knowing how to profit by everything, quickly consumes whatever is displeasing to Jesus, leaving in the heart only a deep and humble peace.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, who quotes here some lines by Saint John of the Cross, love makes use of everything, even our falls, to transform the heart, and leaves nothing in it but a deep and humble peace. Today, when you make a blunder or a mistake, do not dwell on blaming yourself: entrust it to Jesus in a word, then straight away do a small act of love for someone.
