This introduction is not part of the 33 days of preparation. I have always noticed that when I compared myself to the saints, there is between them and me the same difference that exists between a mountain whose summit is lost in the clouds and the obscure grain of sand trampled underfoot by passers-by. The Litde Way is not about taking away die dryness of everyday life. Its the Good News that God doesnt love us because were so good but because hes so good, that he loves us not because we deserve it but because we desperately need it.

In fact, I believe that it is in the context of the offering of the Mass that we can best understand the following words of St. Therese (especially draw me, we shall run) that reveal how she found a simple way of inter ceding for others: Since I have two brothers and my little Sisters, the novices, if I wanted to ask for each soul what each one needed and go into detail about it, the days would not be long enough and I fear I would forget something important.

On the same page, Foley goes into further detail about Zelies excessive fear and what it was like for her, growing up in a home that was dominated by a certain atmosphere of austerity, constraint and scrupulosity. 34 Full quote: She becomes emotional very easily. (2) Due to die wound of original sin, we already tend to distrust God, so when he draws close to us, we often run and hide. Inspired by Saints Therese and Faustina, its to borrow the infinite merits of Christ on the Cross and to offer them as a perfect sacrifice of mercy for the whole world. Well long for him so ardently at that moment that our souls will, so to speak, pop out of our bodies and fly directly and immediately, without having to go through purgatory, into the embrace of his love.127 Thats the martyrdom of love, a martyrdom that, according to St. John of the Cross, is very gentle and very sweet, sweeter and more gentle than [our] whole spiritual life on earth.128 But until that blessed moment, Therese will continue to offer herself to Merciful Love: (11) 1 want, O my Beloved, at each bear of my heart to renew this offering to You an infinite number of times, until the shadows having disappeared I may be able to tell You of my Love in an Eternal Face to Face!119 90 33 DAYS TO MERCIFUL LOVE Now, while I dont yet have a method for renewing the Offering to Merciful Love at each beat of my heart, I can recommend an easy method for renewing it at each breath. 134 Regarding mortal sin and venial sin, the Catechism teaches: Sins are rightly evaluated according to their gravity. Hes well aware that the child wdll often fall back into the these same faults, but hes always ready to forgive him, provided the boy always grasps him by the heart. I discov ered hidden treasures in Thereses teaching that made me say over and over, Why havent I heard this before?

Shes saying, I do not regret having offered myself to Love and neither will you!165 And shes asking you to let her do good for you and to fulfill her mission in you, a mission that she expressed shortly before her death: I feel especially that my mission is about to begin, my mission to make God loved as I love him, to give my little way to souls. Shes actually quite big! And then theyd go on to describe how heroic she was in her sacrifices, sufferings, virtues, and desires. Again, when his Sacred Heart was pierced, it became the Fountain of Mercy, the source of mercy. When, on one occasion, instead of interior prayer, I took up a book of spir itual reading, I heard these words spoken distinctly and forcefully within my soul, You will prepare the world for My final coming.

And so, the Lord sometimes permits that little souls remain in the dark ness of certain vices or sins so they wont fall into worse ones, like die sin of pride.

But what does wound Jesus, Therese explains, is only when his friends, ignoring their continual indelicacies, make a habit out of them and dont ask forgiveness for them (cited in ibid., p. 189). It reveals that when we compare Gods infinite love for us with our own pitiful love for him, our love is really nothing.
