Carmelites can repay God's love by their everyday lives in no other way than by carrying out their daily duties faithfully in every respect...This is the 'little way,' a bouquet of insignificant little blossoms that are daily placed before the Almighty--perhaps a silent, life-long martyrdom that no one suspects and that is at the same time a source of deep peace and hearty joyousness and a fountain of grace that bubbles over everything--we do not know where it goes, and the people whom it reaches do not know from whence it comes.
St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)
Peace be with you!
