Doctor Therese’s Rx: Little Way of Big Love – Oct 01 – Homily – Fr Alan

 

In the homily for thee Memorial of St. Therese of Lisieux (Oct 1), Fr. Alan's explains the basics of the “Little Way” of St. Therese, her spiritual doctrine of spiritual childhood, trust and confidence in God, and immersion in Love. In declaring her a Doctor, the Church recognizes her spiritual insights as enhancing the Church’s beauty and shedding new light on the mystery of Christ.
