She has always been a source of peace, calm, and joy for me, something I know I needed at that moment.<\/p>\n<p>St. Therese is known as the little flower of Jesus because of her love of flowers and her devotion to God through the little things.\u00a0 She relied on small daily sacrifices, reminding us that it is the little things that keep God\u2019s kingdom growing.<\/p>\n<p>This is a time where it is truly important to remember the little things and to use them to draw nearer to God.\u00a0 Fear and uncertainty seem to be part of the daily routine and during Lent, we might think of sacrifice as more of an inconvenience, rather than an opportunity of praise.\u00a0 Remember though, it is through the small things that God may choose to speak with us.\u00a0 It is through our daily prayers and little acts of service that we will foster His love in the world, finding calm, peace, and joy in the Kingdom of God.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMiss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, thereby a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.\u201d\u00a0 &#8211;St. Therese of Lisieux<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<\/p>\n<p>Kathleen Daspit<br \/>\nPrincipal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Hello St. Al Family and Friends,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[166],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-principals-corner"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
