Smooth, short, perfect and sure way to Jesus

"It is a road we do not wander from, or because we walk along this road with greater ease and joy, and consequently with greater speed."
- from True Devotion to Mary

You seek the simple and uncomplicated, and here you have been given Christ through the heart of His Mother. When you met St. Therese a few years ago, you were drawn to the Little Way because of the same reason...you wanted to take the "elevator of love" to get to the heart of the Father. Many others try to create their own way, and eventually they may reach their goal, but it is best for you to follow in the footsteps of your sister, Therese, and your mother, Mary. You will suffer but they will sweeten the pain. The chalice is still yours to drink of but it will not be as bitter as if you do not commend yourself to their intercession. All was done in their lives out of complete love for God. Even their very deaths were acts of love. These are your examples to follow, little one. Do not look elsewhere lest you be led astray.

"Dearly beloved, build your life on the foundation of your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. Remain firm in the love of God, welcoming the mercy of Jesus Christ, our Lord, which leads to eternal life." (Jude 1:20-21)
