1/4 - Simplicity of St Therese #1 - Fr. Terrance

Ave Maria!
Fr. Terrance explains the simplicity of St Therese's spirituality that characterized her Little Way. He starts with biblical references, that perfection consists in simplicity, just as God is simple and seeing all things in relation to our Creator. He relates this to prayer, including, distractions, intentions, mystical experiences, ecstasy, and to being childlike, being trusting children, also the darkness of faith, and persevering in faith when in spiritual darkness.
This is the first 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....

Hello Franciscan Friars and Fr. Terrance. Thank you so much for your homilies and conferences. They are a great source of enlightenment. I was wondering how do I find a spiritual director? Having a guide on the spiritual road seems to be the path all the saints ive read about took. It is very important to me. I was wondering if you have a moment to advise me. Thank you once again. Sally Turner.
