The Final Lessons of the Little Flower

Dear Diary,

Advent is here, so it’s a good time to finish the Little Flower story and start thinking about my own resolutions, just like the Little Flower did. Sister says even small resolutions matter, and we can carry them in our hearts whether we write them down or not.

🌸 The Final Lessons of the Little Flower 🌸

Thérèse grew braver as she got older. Even though her sisters left one by one for the convent, she learned to trust Jesus more than her worries. She offered Him tiny things each day — small kindnesses, quiet sacrifices, and patient moments — and that became her “Little Way.” She showed that even ordinary girls can love God in the smallest moments. By the end of her childhood, she belonged to Jesus completely, like a little flower lifting itself toward the sun.

So for this first Monday of Advent, here is my resolution:

I will try to make my heart ready for Jesus by giving up little things and doing small sacrifices with love.

Things like not rushing my chores, or helping Sister before she even asks. Little things — but Sister says they open my heart wider for grace.

Love,

Kathy
