Much can be learned from St. Therese's life. The theaters presenting 'Therese'...

    I know some Catholic FReepers are Third Order Carmelites and others have an interest in the Little Flower, so I thought we might discuss her Little Way -- or perhaps simply post quotes from her that have been meaningful in our lives as Christians. Living Bread Ah! Lord let me hide in your face. There I'll no longer hear the world's vain noise. Give me your love, keep me in your grace Just for today.
