Ave Maria!
Fr. Ignatius on the Fall Marian day here at the Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center speaks on the influence of Our Lady on the life of St Therese. Our Fall Marian Day takes place every first Saturday in October which this year falls on St. Therese's feast day. He first points out how great of a saint St. Therese is and thus exemplifies how the influence of Our Lady is so conducive for the attainment of heroic virtue. He covers this influence from the time of her childhood and the prominent place that Our Lady held in her family. He relates this to the importance and duty of parents to raise their children in deep piety giving an example of their own prayer and piety and that they should even encouraging their children to consider the religious life in the priesthood or a religious order. Then how Our Lady was instrumental in overcoming the shock of the loss of her mother and then her sisters as they left for religious life. He also mentions other moments of Our Lady's influence, including her first communion, her personal consecration to Mary, joining a Marian association, her zeal for souls, using the Miraculous Medal for evangelization, and more.
