2/4 - Simplicity of St Therese #2 - Fr. Terrance

Ave Maria!
Fr. Terrance continues his explanation of the simplicity of St Therese's spirituality that characterizes her Little Way here focusing on actions, including the practice of renunciation & penance.

This is the second talk of four from his retreat on the Little Way of St Therese that focuses on her simplicity, love of neighbor, and love of God. It took place in August 2021 at the Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center in Bloomington, IN: maryschildren....

Thank you for this beautiful series of teachings! You really touched me when you spoke about being out in the fields and feeding the cattle ..I talk to God when I am out on my little farm. I hope one day that God thinks - there’s my servant that is always thanking me. I am so very grateful for every little thing He has created. God is so great and so good. Truly blessed. 🥰 Especially thankful for finding the Franciscan friars on KZbin 💙 May God pour out his blessings and graces on Fr. Terrance Fr. Roderick, Fr. Ignatious,Fr.

Our relationship with other living things including pets is a barometer of our direct ability to empathise and love. For example there is a correlation between children who abuse animals and psychopathy traits. Love is not a finite thing surely ? The more we have the more we have to give away?
