"Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love." St. Therese of the Child Jesus

So often we think that sacrifice have to be painful and hard, like fasting or mortification.  What is a sacrifice? It is offering to God in praise of his name, in gratitude for his many blessings. Many times we avoid making difficult sacrifices. But St. Therese saw that something done in love for another is a sacrifice pleasing to God. With that in mind we need to become aware of the small opportunities we are given by God to make a sacrifice pleasing to him. "What you did for the least, you did for me." Whatever we do, if we do it in love, our gift is acceptable to God.
