Four characteristics, common in the lives of most saints, are conspicuously absent from the life of St Thérèse. Even though she quickly attained a high degree of holiness, St Thérèse went quite unnoticed in her own convent. One of the reasons for that was the absence of mystical phenomena.

St Thérèse was a spiritual pioneer and innovator. In this third video of our 6-part series, Marcel explains how little souls, taking St Thérèse as their model, can achieve a great degree of holiness through practicing the way of "little" penances.

When interviewed, Sr. Geneviève, Thérèse's actual sister who was with her in the Carmel, revealed that her "sister had no devotions". Thérèse's prayer was really very simple; she would gaze upon God and allow Him to gaze upon her. This is how she reached the heights of holiness; by simply lifting her heart up to God and allowing His loving gaze to transform her. Please visit our website at: https://www.magnificatministries.ca

Despite having achieved a high degree of holiness, the life of St Thérèse was not accompanied by any remarkable deeds, as is so often the case in the life of a saint. Discover why that's so significant for you and me. Please visit our website at: https://www.magnificatministries.ca

St Thérèse - spiritual genius, greatest saint of modern times and Doctor of the Church - articulated one of the most beautiful definitions of holiness; one that reflects her 'new way' to holiness. Please visit our website at: https://www.magnificatministries.ca

St. Thérèse de Lisieux's spirituality was very simple; child-like in fact. Her trust in God's love for her was the one thing that undergirded her whole relationship with Him. And this is why she attained holiness in such a short period of time. Please visit our website at: https://www.magnificatministries.ca
