Desert Reflections: Celebrating the life of St Thérèse of Lisieux
“For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.” ― St. Therese of Lisieux. [Image: Public Domain]St Thérèse of Lisieux, Fr Ed points out, is like the Jews in today’s first reading to whom those of every nation cling because they have heard that God is with them. She is popular because her “little way” takes the complexity out of being with God: “We look at God and he looks at us.”
“Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”
ZEC 8:20-23
When the disciples James and John saw [that the Samaritans would not welcome them] they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
LK 9:51-56
