❤️.. ongoing, added to along the bottom.. more musing from Begin Therese here, Index of my Theresian writings here.
Beginning - as I approach Story of a Soul.
- What prompted Therese to write? Why could she write so well?
- How did she become so holy in so little a time? What did her family have to do with this?
- How does spiritual writing help further my own sanctity & deepen my sacred life?
- How does holy reading deepen my love for God? What’s the process to do this?
- What is the story of Grace in my life? How do I tell it? Can I tell it? Why would I?
- What do I even care for Therese? Why should I? What credibility does she have? By what authority does she speak? Who gave her that right? Why? Does her writing have a Nihil Obstat & Imprimatur? Why is that important? Why would I even care?
- What was she a Carmelite? Why is that signifiant?
- What’s my own history with Therese? How close to her am I? How distant? Why am I not closer to her? Should I be? How do I know?
- What is true devotion to a saint? How do they help me develop Intimacy with Jesus, the Eternal Father thru the Holy Spirit?
