Day 9: Loss & Loneliness (Story of a Soul)
Catholic Classics
There is great heartache that can come with the experience of loneliness. St. Thérèse continues to struggle in developing friendships and writes of the loneliness she feels. She also shares her reaction to learning that her sister Marie will be entering Carmel. Fr. Jacob-Bertrand and Fr. Michael-Joseph share the testimony of one of St. Thérèse’s sisters and what this sister saw in St. Thérèse’s struggle with friendship and her experience of isolation.
