St. Thérèse of Lisieux is remembered as the “Little Flower,” yet beneath the flowers was a surprisingly intense spirituality of suffering, sacrifice, and radical love. Fr. Joseph Spence goes beyond the familiar image of Thérèse to uncover the profound spirituality behind her Little Way: from her confidence in God’s mercy and her willingness to suffer for love, to her battle against scrupulosity and fear, and her deep spousal relationship with Jesus Christ. This episode will show you a Thérèse whose spirituality is far more profound and intensive than you ever realized.
