Roses with acts of kindness 

St Therese is known for her Little Way.  On Sunday the children in children's liturgy thought about what acts of kindness they could do in the coming week and shared their ideas on roses a symbol linked to St Therese who said:  

"My mission - to make God loved - will begin after my death," she said. "I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses."
