Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897) is one of the most popular of modern saints and mystics, having been canonized in 1925 and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1997. Nevertheless, Therese’s mystical teaching has often been misunderstood, not least because of faulty early editions of her writings. This talk will examine the challenging aspects of Therese’s “Little Way” as an expression of absolute loving confidence in God.

This event will be online only. A recording will be available afterwards to all those who register.
