Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, virgin and doctor of the Church. It may be hard to get your head around the concept, but indeed the Kingdom of God is at hand, and thus we must live as children of God. We are missionaries all in our own way. (Preached on Thursday, October 1st, 2009, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)
