Discover the little way of St. Therese.
Holiness is accessible to all, not just for those in convents and monasteries. 

Drawing on the Autobiography of St. Therese, "The Story of a Soul", Dave takes us on a journey to discover just how easy it is to live an authentic holy life.

Prayer - Humility - Redemptive suffering.  St. Therese did not impose a complicated system or complex theology in order to live a holy life.  Accepting what God sends you in the everyday circumstances of life will take you to the heights of holiness and bring the peace of Christ to your heart.
