Father Lawrence Carney III explores the immense desires of Saint Therese of Lisieux. The Little Flower emphasizes the importance of childlike self-surrender and the pursuit of love over mere spiritual consolations. St. Therese’s insights reveal a deep longing to serve God and others, highlighting themes of humility, generosity, and a desire for martyrdom as expressions of love. Ultimately, she teaches that Jesus seeks our love, not our works, inviting us to live out this profound truth in our spiritual journeys.

Episode 19 covers chapter eleven, part one.
