Description: This week, Dan, Melissa and Dr. Anthony Lilles dive into the oblation of St. Therese of Lisieux and take a closer look at her desires to serve the Lord. 

Topics/Questions covered in the show:

• How can St. Therese "save souls on earth by liberating those suffering in purgatory"?
• How can God be her holiness?
• St. Therese recognizes her powerlessness to be holy and relies on God to attain the heights of holiness.
• The measure of our spiritual progress and our holiness is love of God and love of neighbor. 
• St. Therese refers to Jesus as her spouse. How can men relate to this idea of being the spouse of Christ?
