The Little Way Part 1
This is the first part of a 4 part series on the Little Way of St. Therese of Lisieux. During this Lenten journey join me for this 4 part series that explores the theology and spiritual depths of the life, teaching and little way of St. Therese of Lisieux. This year we celebrate the 150th anniversary of her birth. This radical and often misunderstood saint has much to teach us during this lenten season.
