A Retreat With Therese of Lisieux : Loving Our Way into Holiness

A Retreat With #6

by Elizabeth Ruth Obbard

Your director for this retreat, Loving Our Way Into Holiness , is Therese of Lisieux, who has been called the greatest saint of modern times. She discovered--rediscovered--a way open to anyone who wants sanctity. The way is the path of complete trust, a child's trust in a loving Parent. She called her path the "little way" and anchored it in the word of God. Simple but not easy, the "little way" challenges our notions of sanctity as personal achievement, as strength of character, as undeviating fulfillment of laws and rules. It roots us in the sanctity of reality--the here and now, in ordinary life, lived under the providence of God.
