St. Therese is a relatable saint who focuses on completed acceptance of God's Will and dependence on His grace. Her Little Way is a popular with many as a "doable" way to become saints themselves. ** One day, St. Therese’s sister gave her a set of beads on which to keep count of little acts of love and sacrifice offered to God. Young Therese would pull a bead when she postponed a treat, or let someone have their way. Therese’s mother wrote, “Even Therese wants to start making sacrifices now!”** (Society of the Little Flower) Most St. Therese Sacrifice Beads consist of a crucifix with a string of ten beads, each of which can be pulled and then remain in place. In my person experience, when worn as a bracelet, the crucifix would often pull on my knitting (a travesty, I assure you), catch on my on my sweaters, and just generally be inconvenient. Tired of dealing with my sacrifice beads catching on everything, I decided to make my own, sans crucifix. In its place, I added a St. Therese medal which, since it is round, does not catch on anything. I wear my Sacrifice Beads constantly, taking them only off to shower. I can assure you that they are up the challenge and are not inconvenient. The lobster clasp can be linked into the loop of cord holding the St. Therese medal (see pictures of a closed sacrifice bead bracelet). **Pull a bead toward the medal for any act of self-denial or love for others, thus noting your little acts of love for God each day. You can also use these sacrifice beads as a decade rosary. At the end...
