I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would no longer be enamelled with lovely hues. And so it is in the world of souls, our lord's living garden.” Saint Therese, flower of Carmel, you said you would spend your heaven doing good upon the earth. Your trust in God was complete. Listen to my prayer; bring before God my special intention... Pray for me that I may have something of your confidence in the loving promises of our God. Pray that I may live my life in union with God's plan for me, and one day see the Face of God who you so ardently loved. Saint Therese, you kept your word to love God and to trust the world to that loving providence. Pray for us that we may be faithful to our commitment to love. May our lives, like yours, be able to touch the world and bring it to peace. Amen The post A Novena to St. Thérèse of Lisieux – Day One – Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Episode 106: ". . . Lord, my heart is not proud; / nor are my eyes haughty. / I do not busy myself with great matters, / with things too sublime for me. / Rather, I have stilled my soul, / Like a weaned child to its mother, / weaned is my soul. / Israel, hope in the Lord, / now and forever." – Psalm 131---"Oh, how happy I am to see myself imperfect and to have such need of God's mercy at the moment of my death," said St. Thérèse, the Little Flower, at the end of her life. Could you say the same? Tune in to this episode as author and host Julia Monnin shares some thoughts on spiritual poverty (St. Thérèse style!).---"At times the little bird's heart is assailed by the storm, and it seems it should believe in the existence of no other thing except the clouds surrounding it; this is the moment of perfect joy for the poor little week creature.

Hour 2 for 5/19/25 Drew prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with Brooke Taylor (1:00). Then, Fr. Joseph Illo joined Drew to discuss the life of St.Thérèse (26:23), the Little Way (40:40), and St. Thérèse's intercession (47:25).

St. Thérèse of Lisieux (1873–1897) was a French Carmelite nun and a Doctor of the Church. She is known for her autobiography, Story of a Soul, which is still a popular spiritual read today. She is one of the most popular saints of the 20th century and still very popular today. St. Thérèse was never known for exhibiting the physical phenomena or ecstasies many other mystics throughout history have shown, and actually considered herself an anti-mystic. However, her deep understanding of scripture and her connection to God shows she definitely had a mystical connection to the divine.

Sunday Gathering March 2, 2025Kate HoukSt. Thérèse of Lisieux is considered by many one of the greatest saints to ever live, and yet during her short life she lived in obscurity. Thérèse guides us to notice how our small and quiet everyday lives are an invitation to be shaped into the image of Christ. Together, we consider how God is forming us through our everyday interactions into the people we are meant to become in Him.

In this episode, Sr. Alicia Torres, Tanner Kalina, and Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone (Archdiocese of San Francisco) discuss the Little Way of St. Thérèse.Oftentimes, we fall into the temptation of thinking that in order to live a life on mission we have to do something extraordinary. St. Thérèse is the official patroness of the missions, and she never left the confines of her convent. What wisdom from the Church! Her prayer and sacrifice allowed her to reach more souls than even the busiest and most traveled missionary.Mother Teresa (who appropriately took the name of St. Thérèse when she became a religious sister) taught us to “Do ordinary things with extraordinary love.” This is the heart of a Eucharistic Missionary. If you enjoyed this conversation, please spend a minute and leave us a review and/or copy the link of this episode and share it with a friend!If you would like to watch today's conversation, please check out https://youtu.be/xE_uou1Erp0If you would like to check out SOLT Family Mission Experience, please check out: https://www.soltfme.org/You can also check out our new Lenten Devotional here (just in time for Lent!): https://store.eucharisticrevival.org/products/revival-a-lenten-devotional-for-eucharistic-renewalYou can find resources for the ongoing National Eucharistic Revival by visiting: www.eucharisticrevival.orgAnd, finally, a must-read for any Catholic is St. Thérèse's "Story of a Soul" which you can find here: https://www.icspublications.org/products/story-of-a-soul-the-autobiography-of-st-therese-of-lisieux?srsltid=AfmBOorEZjDARm102tr-qfx0du8bWZjiIeXqmDoG8jAgSmMHYY7hN05kAn NEC Podcasts original.

Friends of the Rosary, Today is the Memorial of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face (1873-1897), popularly known as "the Little Flower" and St. Thérèse of Lisieux. She was a cloistered Carmelite Discalced nun who entered the Carmel of Lisieux at fifteen. She attained a high degree of holiness by carrying out her daily duties with perfect fidelity, having a childlike confidence in God's providence and merciful love. The Little Flower had a great love of the Church and a zeal for the conversion of souls. She prayed especially for priests and was always ready to be at the service of others. She died of consumption on September 30, 1897, at the age of 24, and was canonized in 1925. She has never ceased to fulfill her promise: "I will pass my heaven in doing good on earth." Her interior life is revealed in her autobiography, Story of a Soul. In 1997, Pope Saint John Paul II declared her a Doctor of the Church. In his Apostolic Exhortation On Christian Joy (Gaudete in Domino), Paul VI spoke of St. Thérèse in 1975. "In more recent times, St. Thérèse of Lisieux shows us the courageous way of abandonment into the hands of God to whom she entrusts her littleness. And yet it is not that she has no experience of the feeling of God's absence, a feeling which our century is harshly experiencing. This is the moment of perfect joy for the poor, weak little thing. What happiness for it to remain there nevertheless, and to gaze at the invisible light that hides from its faith." Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Pray for Us! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • October 1, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

A Sister of St. Thérèse: Servant of God, Léonie Martin - Bearer of Hope with Fr. Timothy Gallagher - Episode 14 We pick up with Léonie at the dawn of the 1930s, in an era where world events begin to collide cataclysmically.   She is writing to her older sister, Marie, about Pauline's jubilee and recalling challenging medical procedures. We also discuss the profound impact the teachings and writings of St. Francis de Sales and, to a lesser extent, St. Jane de Chantal and St. Margaret Mary Alacoque had on Léonie. Finally, Fr. Gallagher observes how the Salesian spirituality is very much in keeping with the "Little Way" of her sister, St. Therese, they are. Léonie then imparts profound insights to her sisters following a retreat, which still rings true for all of us today. The post Ep. 14 – A Sister of St. Thérèse: Servant of God, Léonie Martin – Bearer of Hope with Fr. Timothy Gallagher – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

n this episode, we jump ahead 15 years to 1915. Léonie is now a cloistered religious Sister Françoise-Thérèse of the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary in Caen.  She is doing her best to live the "little way" as described by her younger sister Thérèse, whose cause for canonization is rapidly moving forward.  This process graces her with an opportunity to visit with her three living sisters, Marie, Celine, and Pauline at the Carmel in Lisieux. Pauline, now Mother Agnes of Jesus and prioress of the Carmel, develops a close relationship with Léonie.  She will serve Léonie as a mother figure and spiritual director for the rest of her life.  Their correspondence speaks of Léonie's spiritual growth during this period.
