Personally, I have always liked St. Therese of Lisieux (above pic). I remember reading a story that told of her life as a young girl. She used to wear a bracelet of beads she called a "sacrifice bracelet." Every time she did a small deed or kind action in secret, she would move one of the beads over a knot in the string. Her goal was to move all the beads on the strand over the knot by the end of the day. Therese always believed in doing the ordinary, with extraordinary love. Often times, saints are depicted as super holy and perfect people, but St. Therese shows us that even doing the small things can make a big difference in our lives and the people around us.
Happy All Saints Day!
