Housekeeping and the Little Flower


I started reading Heather King's Shirt of Flame: A Year with St. Thérèse of Lisieux yesterday, her feast day. It's a wonderful book on St. Thérèse, but I was particularly pleased to be reminded that "unaccustomed to housework of any kind--she'd hardly known how to fix her own hair or to make a bed before entering the convent--Thérèse was never particularly adept at sweeping, needlework, or any of her assigned chores." So there's the one thing I have in common with the Little Flower.
