"Love can do all things," said St. Therese of Lisieux. I think of this during the tired days, the days when the workload is stacked a mile high, when I didn't get enough sleep, when I'm tired of being patient and selfless and sacrificing.
Can love really bring me safely to to the end of this day? Can love help me work hard, show kindness, and do everything that needs to be done?
Love brought me into the world.
Love raised me and kept me safe.
Love gave me a smile and a kind word on a bad day.
Love sat down with me and helped me through some difficult math problem.
Love encouraged me during each and every stressful exams week.
Love made me laugh when I wanted to cry.
Love gave me a shoulder to cry on when I couldn't do anything else.
And it was Love that gave me the hope of eternal life.
Love indeed can do all things. And, in the end, the things worth doing are the things that only can be done through Love.
