“What about a story?” said Christopher Robin. “Could you very sweetly tell Winnie-the-Pooh one?”
“I suppose I could,” I said. “What sort of stories does he like?”
“About himself. Because he’s that sort of Bear.”
“I’ll try,” I said.
So I tried. ~A.A.Milne

'What day is it?' asked Pooh.
'It’s our BIRTHDAY.' squeaked Piglet.
'My favourite day.' said Pooh.
Happy 100th BIRTHDAY to Pooh and the gang! 🎂🎉

La sera del 3 ottobre di 800 anni fa moriva San Francesco d'Assisi.
"Tu sei santo, Signore solo Dio,
che operi cose meravigliose.
Tu sei forte, Tu sei grande, Tu sei altissimo.
Tu sei re onnipotente, Tu, Padre santo,
re del cielo e della terra.
Tu sei trino ed uno, Signore Dio degli dei,
Tu sei il bene, ogni bene, il sommo bene,
il Signore Dio vivo e vero.
Tu sei amore e carità, Tu sei sapienza,
Tu sei umiltà, Tu sei pazienza,
Tu sei bellezza, Tu sei mansuetudine,
Tu sei sicurezza, Tu sei quiete.
Tu sei gaudio e letizia, Tu sei nostra speranza, Tu sei giustizia.
Tu sei temperanza,
Tu sei tutta la nostra ricchezza a sufficienza.
Tu sei bellezza, Tu sei mansuetudine.
Tu sei protettore, Tu sei custode e nostro difensore,
Tu sei fortezza, Tu sei refrigerio.
Tu sei la nostra speranza, Tu sei la nostra fede.
Tu se la nostra carità.
Tu sei tutta la nostra dolcezza,
Tu sei la nostra vita eterna, grande e ammirabile Signore,
Dio onnipotente, misericordioso Salvatore".

St. Therese of Lisieux, who died at age 24, has the distinction of being the YOUNGEST Doctor of the Church. You're never too young to become a GREAT saint! Little Flower of Jesus, ora pro nobis!

Today, Oct. 1, the Church celebrates Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, Virgin and Doctor of the Church, affectionately known as “The Little Flower.”
Through her “Little Way,” Thérèse showed that holiness is found not only in great deeds, but in doing the smallest, hidden acts with immense love and complete trust in God’s mercy. From the silence of the cloister, she desired simply to be “love in the heart of the Church.”
Saint Thérèse, pray for us!
