A Lenten Journey with Jesus Christ & St. Therese of Lisieux

by John F. Russell

Lent, Prayer, St. Therese of Lisieux, Easter, Catholic. Accept the invitation to journey through Lent with Jesus Christ and one of the “greatest saints of modern times”, St. Thérèse of Lisieux. Pope John Paul II declared her a Doctor of the Church for her spiritual wisdom inspired by the Gospel. She calls us to “increase the spirit of faith” in our hearts and become what God “wills us to be”. Prepare for your journey with an Invitation from St. Thérèse, a short biography of Saint Thérèse, an Overview of the Carmelite Order, and a section on Saint Thérèse and Prayer. The journey begins each day of Lent, weekdays and Sundays, a Gospel Reading, a selection from the Writings of St. Thérèse, a Reflection, and a Prayer. St. Thérèse of Lisieux is called the saint of “the Little Way” but her spirituality is much greater and deeper, for it is a path to our Lord God Jesus Christ—the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Let the beautiful relationship that she had with Jesus inspire your Lenten journey.

St. Thérèse invites us to sit or to kneel and to put ourselves in the presence of God. God is always with us but we need to become mindful of His loving presence within us. From that act of faith, we can begin our Lenten meditation. Ask St. Thérèse to accompany you and to help you to draw closer to the living God Who is Christ Jesus, the Lord.
