A Real Encounter with St. Therese
Note: I have a song to celebrate Saint Therese’s Feast day I remember asking Jesus and St. Therese. “Please illuminate something to me. So if you have something you wish to say, please point it out to me.” I asked this of her today, and ohhh, does St. Therese come through when you ask forContinue reading “A Real Encounter with St. Therese”

Little Way
To be honest, I want to reflect on the innocence of a child. I was out yesterday, heading to my church to make a private holy hour.

The Mystery of Suffering
Hello, my dear readers. I came across a quote from the most adorable and beloved, St. Therese, that I wanted to reflect on. Saint Therese wrote, “I would willingly spend the whole of my religious life in this dark underground passage if by it I might win light for sinners.” That, in essence, is religiousContinue reading “The Mystery of Suffering”
