Saint of the Little Ways

I really have a problem with those chain emails that people forward which promise crazy things (like answered wishes and prayers) if you send it to 11 more people within the next five minutes! Whatever you do...don't break the chain. Of course syncretism has been around a long time.

However, nestled in this good-intentioned email was this...

St. Theresa's Prayer:

May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where
you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born
of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love
that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to
sing, dance, praise God and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

Trusting that we're exactly where God means for us to be sounds awfully simple...but I'll take it!
