Ave Maria!
Fr. Ignatius on the Fall Marian Day here at the Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center talks 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 starts where he left off in the previous talk and describes how she owed her vocation to Our Lady and helped her to enter a religious order dedicated to Our Lady, the Order of Carmelites. How she called herself the little flower of Mary that is nourished by Mary, how Therese was guided by her as novice master, how she turned to Mary for all decisions, how her progress in the spiritual life is due to St. Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary, her many appeals to Mary, statements of thanks for favors received and recommendations to others to turn to Mary. She particularly asks Mary for the gift of smallness, humility, the chief virtue of the Little Flower, to be simple and not duplicitous, asking in a small way for big graces. And finally all the help that Mary gave at the end of her life so she could enter into paradise with many merits to share with with others.
