4th Wednesday Reflection Therese: Ordinary Girl, Extraordinary Soul The true story of Saint Therese of Lisieux August 28, am in the Religious Formation Building Saint Therese's feast day is October 1. We will ponder her life through prayer and meditation and viewing the movie about her life. Therese was a pampered child from a middle-class 19th century French family. Her mother died when she was four. Her early life experiences led her to journey to Rome to beg Pope Leo XIII for permission to enter the Carmelite monastery at the unheard-of age of 15. She experienced the joys and rigors of monastic life, and made the surprising yet simple discovery that holiness can be achieved by small acts of love and compassion - a spiritual path she calls her "Little Way." This film is a beautiful retreat into the world of Saint Therese of Lisieux. Please join us for this special morning of prayer and sharing. No need to register.
