Ep. 13 | I got St Thérèse all wrong

Have you ever found St Thérèse of Lisieux a bit too sweet to take seriously? Fr Patrick admits he did. As an Irish farmer, her writing didn't make sense to him at first, until a priest gave him a simple challenge: if you think what she did was easy, try doing it. Looking at her commitment to prayer and sacrifice, her patience with a sister nobody could please, and her choice to keep believing in the dark, Fr Patrick shows that the Little Way is anything but soft. It is about loving God in ordinary, hidden things, whether you're peeling potatoes, fixing an engine or cutting the grass. If your days feel too small to matter to God, this is a good place to start. 🔴 THIS SERIES Fr Patrick Cahill | Episode #13 This is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with Holy Family Mission.
