"I have noticed in all the serious circumstances of my life that nature always reflected the image of my soul. On days filled with tears the heavens cried along with me; on days of joy the sun sent forth its joyful rays in profusion and the blue skies were not obscured by a single cloud."

- St. Thérèse of Lisieux, from The Story of a Soul. Read Pat Marrin's essay about her on her feast day at CelebrationPublications.org, The Hidden Face.
