St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Practicing Catholic
In this episode of Practicing Catholic, hosts Taylor Kemp and Dr. Scott Hefelfinger explore the life and spirituality of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, patroness of the Augustine Institute’s Mission Circle and one of the most beloved saints of modern times. Drawing from her short but profound life, they unpack how this hidden Carmelite nun became a Doctor of the Church and the patroness of missionaries through her deep trust in God, bold desires for holiness, and unwavering love. The conversation focuses especially on Thérèse’s “Little Way”—doing ordinary things with extraordinary love—and how it offers a practical, challenging path to holiness in everyday life. From suffering and trust to family life, work, and prayer, this episode invites listeners to discover how St. Thérèse’s simple yet demanding spirituality can transform their daily practice of the faith.
