One household chore Carol dislikes is wiping down the shower doors. It’s a tedious yet monotonous task that we all have to do (except, of course, those of us who try to avoid it altogether, hoping someone will do it for us).
Recently, she was inspired to sanctify that task in much the same way St. Therese of Lisieux found holiness in common chores like folding napkins and sweeping the floor.
“I just thought of approaching it differently,” she said. “Every morning, I have to do this really boring thing and what could I do to make these few minutes worthwhile? Then, it occurred to me I could pray a decade of the Rosary while doing this routine, repetitive but necessary task. So every morning, I choose a different departed relative or loved one, and offer a decade of the Rosary for their soul, so they will be on the fast lane to Heaven.”
