"In the Church calendar, the first week of October brings us the feasts of the angels and saints who taught us to be like children. On the First of October, we remember St. Therese of Lisieux, the 'Little Flower.' St. Therese gave us the 'Little Way,' reminding us that we don't have to do great things, but the ordinary, everyday tasks of our vocation can lead us to holiness and, eventually, heaven.
"The next day we continue to focus on the little ones with the Feast of the Guardian Angels. . . ."In a recent commentary, Father Jack Kolodziej, OSFS, reflected on some of these "little saints" and on St. Francis de Sales, wrote that we should be like little children who cast their cares on their parents and run to them for protection.
