In her autobiography, Story of a Soul (L’Histoire d’une Âme), St. Thérèse shares the story of her “little way” and helps us see God in his smallest creations. John Cleary uses passages from Story of a Soul to inspire us to embrace our own smallness this Advent and Christmas and see past the glamour and hype of a material Christmas to the small miracle that comes on December 25.

Christian joy is the constant awareness of the loving presence of Jesus, the Son of God, in our hearts. Advent is a time when we open our minds and hearts to search for the light of love, compassion, and peace in the Word of God. It is a time set aside for more intentional reading of the Word of God-reading that leads to personal reflection, prayer, contemplation, and humble service to others.
|
A perfect way to live Advent to the full this year.
|
Great wisdom from a great saint and Doctor of the Church; excellent spiritual reading for Advent or any other time of the year!
