A lady and saint that we Three -- and, I hope, we Four -- Mass'keteers have continuously held a torch for, St. Thérèse of Lisieux.The author is Rev. Jean C. J. d'Elbeé, a French retreat master who has been profoundly affected by Saint Therese of the Child Jesus’ “little doctrine” He made it the subject of ten spiritual conferences contained in his book I Believe in Love. In the form of a personal retreat, he explains St. Therese’s teaching about confident love, leading readers to a profound personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Through his reflections on Therese’s life and teaching, Fr. d’Elbee unfolds for the reader the inner meaning of the psalmist’s cry, “Lord, You have opened my heart, and I run in the way of Your commandments.”

This 'teer in training also asks, almost daily, for our Lord's little flower to pray for me.
Ditto, mi amigo! BTW, it is a joy to add you to my other brothers, Aramis and Porthos, in my daily prayer list. Also, your mother, Carol, in my list of the blessed dead (w/my madre).
no fair making the newbie cry,
thanks brother!
She's in great company, bro. Keep fighting the good fight and running the good race. And, of course, ask her to keep us in her prayers too!
