St. Thérèse: God’s Merciful Love
Daniel Chowning O.C.D.
The spirituality of Saint Thérèse is indeed a very rich one. She has much to say to us about the importance of confidence, patience, acts of love, surrender, and perseverance in the midst of spiritual darkness. There are many fine studies that analyze the different aspects of her personality and doctrine, yet the foundation of all of Thérèse’s spirituality rests on her experience and contemplation of God, the God of Jesus Christ, a God of love, but especially the God of mercy. We learn how this experience of God as Merciful Love is the key to her entire doctrine.

St. Thérèse: Her Influence on Contemporary
Theology and Spirituality
Denis Read O.C.D.
This is a discussion about the influence of St. Thérèse of Lisieux on contemporary theology and spirituality. Although she left us scarcely more than a little book, a few letters, and a few last words, the more attention that we give to the Little Flower, the broader are the horizons that open up revealing her true influence on popular devotions and practices, on theologians, and on emerging theologies of lay spirituality.

Your Personal History as a Narrative of Hope

The Discovery of Merciful Love
Keith Egan T.O.Carm
In Thérèse’s discovery of Merciful Love, she found a very Orthodox Christian way of understanding of how God is present to us – we use the term grace to describe that. The lecturer presents a review of some of the major times in the development of grace in our theology and shows the context within which Thérèse intuitively or instinctively was finding her own way of understanding how God relates to us.

St. Thérèse and Priesthood
Mary Frohlich R.S.C.J.
Thérèse of Lisieux passionately desired to be an ordained priest. Some are disturbed by the fact that she, a woman, wanted to be a priest at all. Others are often discomforted by the highly exalted spirituality of the priesthood and the Eucharist that motivated her in that desire. By disturbing us in these ways, our latest Doctor of the Church is inviting all of us, wherever we start from, to risk a new exploration of what priesthood and Eucharist are really intended to mean in the Church of Jesus Christ. Only thus will we be able to live the Eucharistic unity and transformation that Christ longs for in his Church.

Does this young woman called the greatest saint of modern times have anything really significant to say to post modernity? Will her writings in fact remain spiritual classics like those of Teresa Jesus (Avila) and John of the Cross or does she belong to a passing epoch?

Reflections on the Doctorate of St. Thérèse
Steven Payne O.C.D.
As we remember, in the late 1990’s, the idea of Thérèse as Doctor of the Church led people to remember her not just for her example but also for her teaching, of her little way of confidence in God’s merciful love, of her message that we can become saints by doing ordinary things with extraordinary love, or however they chose to express it.

Story of a Soul: A New Arrangement of the Texts
Kieran Kavanaugh O.C.D.
How did Thérèse’s The Story of a Soul come about? This book is by a young woman who had spent 15 years in the comparative safety of a devout catholic household and the remaining 9 years in the quiet atmosphere of a cloistered community of some 20 Carmelite nuns at Lisieux, Normandy. What prompted this young, inexperienced girl to write the story of her soul, a story that has had a spiritual impact on all types of people and been translated into all languages in all nations from simple unlearned people to the highly educated and learned. Recent publications have revealed some precise information regarding her writings.

The Desire for God and the Discovery of the Little Way
Kieran Kavanaugh O.C.D.
When Thérèse was an impressionable schoolgirl, she read about the lives of French heroines, especially Joan of Arc and got excited. The moment was ripe for a grace she considered one of the greatest in her life. She began to feel that she was born for glory and to question herself about how she would reach this glory. Not only did God inspire her with a desire for glory, but that he also gave her a special understanding that her glory would not be evident to others and that it would consist in her becoming a saint.
