Olivia's Prayer To St. Therese

One of Olivia's nighttime prayers:

"St. Therese, it's me again. I want to make you happy. I want to make God happy. Your Little Way makes God happy. Maybe it can work for me, too. Please help me follow your Little Way each day. Starting first thing tomorrow, that is what I am going to do. Please guide me so I can do little things with great love. Amen."
