13. Favorite story of a saint?
When Saint Therese was cleaning the choir, she saw something she really didn't like. A spider had made its home in the window sill...and she was supposed to clean it. Poor Therese, she didn't want to do it. Spiders...kind of creepy up close...crawly...and they have eight legs!?! Taking a deep breath, she swept the spider off the sill, dusted it across the floor as fast as she could, opened the door of the choir, swept it out, and quickly shut the door. Whew.
