Doctor of the Church,
favored with ecstasies,
cooked meals in the convent kitchen
and performed the lowliest household duties, seeing in them the will of God.
It is important to direct rightly all our actions, however lowly they may be,
to God's service.'
St. Francis de Sales
Painting: Edgar Degas, Woman Ironing
Brother Lawrence has always been an inspiration to me too, when it comes to walking with joy in the midst of kitchen duties.
ReplyDeleteI'm delighted for this quote about Catherine of Sienna's life...nothing is too small when we do it from a place of loving Him and others.
Your post blesses me.
