"Kindness and politeness are not overrated at all. They’re underused."
– Tommy Lee
St. Elizabeth of Portugal is someone who is very inspiring. Despite of what happened to her she remained faithful, not only to herself, but also to others especially to God. She dedicated her life helping others, making the poor and the sick her priorities, she even did a greater charity and penance through out the years. She's really a wonderful role model and a good peacemaker to all the people around her.
As I continue to read her story it reminds me of my mom or just any mother in the world. Because being mother means that no matter how stressed you are for doing chores, taking care of the family, cooking etc. You should always this little faith that will still hold you together and you should have this kindness in your heart that will make feel at peace all the time and I believe that's what we need. That we ,human beings, need is to have a kind heart.
I think that is what God want from us; to be kind all the time and look for what makes us calm and at peace. No matter how hard the struggles or how long the stress we have in life. We should remain faithful and learn how to accept it, just like what St. Elizabeth did. She faced a lot of hardships but she remained positive in life and she found strength to carry her many great crosses.
