The Autobiography of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (The Little Flower), a Carmelite sister.
I ought to seek the companionship of those Sisters towards whom I feel a natural aversion and try to be their Good Samaritan. A word or a smile is often enough to put fresh life in a despondent soul and yet it is not merely in the hope of giving consolation that I try to be kind. If it were, I know that I should soon be discouraged, for well-intentioned words are often totally misunderstood. Consequently, not to lose my time or labour, I try to act solely to please Our Lord and follow this precept of the Gospel:
“When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends or thy brethren, lest perhaps they also invite thee again and a recompense be made to thee, but when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the blind, and the lame and thou shalt be blessed, because they have naught wherewith to make thee recompense and thy Father Who see-eth in secret will repay thee.” (Luke 14:12-14).
What feast can I offer my Sisters but a spiritual one of sweet and joyful charity! I know none other and I wish to imitate St Paul, who rejoiced with those who rejoiced. It is true that He wept with those who wept and at my feast, too, the tears must sometimes fall. Still I shall always try to change them into smiles, for “God loveth a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7).
