The Spirituality of St. Thérèse - Living Divine Mercy (EWTN) Ep. 140 with Fr. Chris Alar, MIC

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, the “Little Flower,” is one of the most popular and well-known Catholic Saints. She said her mission was to “make God loved as I love Him, to give my little way to souls.” Brother Ryan, MIC, explains this new spirituality which can supercharge our relationship with our Lord. Then hear the inspiring story of a group of high school students from Louisville, Kentucky, whose “St. Joseph of Arimathea Society” performs the corporal work of mercy of burying the dead.
Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Wednesday at 6:30 pm EST, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am EST. Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!

I once was the sole attendee at a Mass for a man who died. I sang his Requiem with the priest. It felt so good to pray for him, hoping he would pray for us. I encourage others to experience this. It seemed a very great gift, he had planned his last Masses. It was an honor and a great privilege to assist Father. , "Dominus Vobiscum. " " Et cum Spiritu tuo."

[@alwaysmisskaryn]

What a blessing for him and for you. May God bless you.

[@tinamariebarney3134]

That's a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing.

[@alwaysmisskaryn]

Thank you Brother Ryan for the explanation of “the Little Way”. Once again we are reminded that love without action is meaningless. Saint Thérèse pray for us. The group of students who volunteer for Saint Joseph of Arimathea Society is impressive and warms my heart. I remember frequent visits as a child to the graves of my grandparents with my parents. As I got older I fell out of the practice, UNTIL my mother died, then I visited her grave, and subsequently my dad’s, and all the resting places in our family plot weekly. It’s probably something I miss the most, now that I live at a distance. My late brother always impressed on me the importance of always going to the burial, when attending a funeral service. May all the souls buried by these special be at eternal rest

Wow doing a novena to St Therese

[@ignatius7004]

felt the spirituality of St Therese is an uplifting of the curse of scrupulosity, to a wider extend uplifting the struggle of protestantism and founder Martin Luther who suffered the same with young St Therese, felt it will be a good share with our Protestant friends, to encourage them in active participation and cooperation with grace

What a beautiful topic we have today on Living the Divine Mercy, The Spirituality of St. Thérèse. Thank you, Fr. Chris for presenting this episode : the little way of St. Therese, well explained by Bro Ryan. For those who are convinced that performing great things aren’t for them, then the little way is the best guide to the great heart of Jesus. He loves the little ones and is so amazed at their humility, simplicity, littleness and trust of a childlike heart. Thank you, St. Therese, for teaching us your little way to reach sanctity and someday be with you on the altar. Thanks to the very edifying and genuine works of the student volunteers whose generosity, dedication and commitment are truly outstanding and inspiring, above all, heaven rejoices and glorifies the Holy Trinity. And to you all who supported this wonderful presentation be assured of my humble prayers and God bless.

I wanna share the chorus from the Official theme song of the 5th visit of St Therese of the Child Jesus in the Philippines entitled "Walk with us, Dear Therese" "Walk with us, dear Therese In this heaven here on earth Smile for us, dear Therese Our sign of joy and cheer Help us to enflame our sinful hearts And pray to Jesus heart-to-heart Walk with us"

Make God #1, Total dependence and abandonment to God. Total Trust in God. With God all is possible. True Devotion and Love to Our Blessed Ever Virgin Mother Mother. Acceptance of Blessings and Crosses, for they both bring us closer to God. Staying in The Word and doing His Holy Will. Praising God and keeping His Commandments. Loving God and Loving Our neighbors for the Love of God. Putting God and Neighbors before ourselves. Doing the corporal and spiritual works of Mercy. Beginning everything and ending everything with grateful prayer. Confidence in Knowing He is Always with us. Asking, with confidence and thankfulness for all our necessities. Always being mindful of God and Our Mother. Seeing God in Everyone we meet. Thanking time to be alone, with God, in Adoration, and Knowing that He is God. Turning everything over to God. Living in the spiritual world and not in the ways of planet Earth. Respecting all the resources and using all the resources wisely. Being in One with God in our relationship with Him and trusting in Our Blessed Mother and The Holy Spirit to Nurture us, teach us and guide us to Jesus. God Bless us, Everyone.😊

Congratulations Brother Ryan and you were very very helpful in enlightening us about St. Therese’s spirituality!! Also, my son was part of a saint Joseph of Arimathea group that buried the homeless and very poor individuals around Cleveland, Ohio. This was at Saint Ignatius, high school, and many more high schools are starting to do the same thing. God be praised!

[@DivineMercy_Official]

How big is this society of Saint Joseph of Aramathea? It seems like such a unique, surprising, humbling, sign of God’s love. I’d be interested to see if there is an opportunity to join one / start one near me.
