Peace be with you.

Despite great suffering during her life, St. Perez still trusted deeply in God. We mentioned earlier that

St. Torres lost her mother when she was only four. She was picked on at school. She lost her second

mother, her older sister, Pauline, when Pauline entered the convent. So Teres went through

a period of depression and years of extreme sensitivity.

She also suffered from tuberculosis.

It was this illness that claimed her life.

She spent over a year suffering from it slowly.

And even then, she fought the temptation to fall into despair,

and she united her heart to Jesus Christ.

Today let's pray to have the same trust and strength when we suffer through hard times.

The suffering can come in many forms, but none of us are immune to it.

Jesus carried his cross and asked us to take up ours and follow him.

Since that is what he asks, he will give us the grace and strength to endure the suffering

of this life as long as we continue to trust and hope in him.

St. Therese pray for us. Let's particularly pray for those

suffering with anxiety and depression. Here are the prayers for today. Day 6.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Dearest St. Therese, you said that you would spend your time in heaven doing good on earth.
