When I first read St. Therese of Lisieux’s “Story of a Soul,” I was not impressed. In fact, I found “the Little Flower” to be more than a little obnoxious.

We hear the word “tolerance” a lot these days, but what exactly does it mean? It seems the word itself has been largely redefined to mean the opposite of what it used to mean. Today, the word “tolerance” means that one is no longer allowed to hold opin…

I did not like St. Therese. At all. First off, prior to the convent, I was a bit clueless about saints. Saints did not feel like real people. Their holy cards always looked a bit too “fake”. I also didn’t know saints belon…

Back in those memorable days of Hula Hoops, American Bandstand, and those new cars with those long, sleek, beautiful fins, when I was only eleven years old, I first met St. Thérèse. I can still hear the way the Irish nuns who taught us gave the name a …

“Providence” is a word that needs to be given a new meaning because it has been forgotten or caricatured to such an extent.

This past Sunday we were presented with beautiful Mass Readings from the Prophet Amos, St. Paul, and Our Lord, sending His Apostles out to evangelize the world.
