Santa Teresa de Lesio: The small path that is still alive

Kazaviya Sartre – Vatican City

The holiday began on Friday, May 16 in Lisieux, where Santa Teresa Carmelo entered in 1888 and lived until his death in 1897. Their remains were transferred in a procession at night from Carmel, passing through the cathedral, to Basilica in the haven, where they rest, before ulcers in Basilica.

This Saturday 17 am, the centenary was celebrated by Bayeux-Lisieux bishop, Monsignor Jacques Habert, in the presence of the Normandy County Bishops, with the exception of the Ruan Archbishop, who was on the way to Rome to attend the Pontte’s bloc from Bob Liu. As evidence of the deep love of believers for her, the pilgrims from Chicago and Brazil, who declared special dedication, were present at this celebration.

One hundred years after his sanctification, the dedication of the Little Carmelite, who has made a distress process to enter Carmel, is still always. Monsignor Habart also remembers in its sermon, which distinguished all the potatoes during the past hundred years, from Bio X, which I described even before it was distributed as “the greatest sacred in the modern era”, to Bio Shi, which I tightened in the square. Along with her and wrote about her preparation This is confidence.

Let yourself be loved by God

Today, the “Little Road” message, very dear to Santa Teresa, continues to spread. According to Father Emmanuel Shawab, President of the University of Lesio, the key is not to know how to publish it. “Theresa does not teach us what to do, but rather to realize what God has already done to respond to this divine act,” he explains.

To clarify this teaching, Shawab uses the image of a young child who is still unable to walk, in his bed extending his arms to his mother or father to raise it. “It is not the child who wakes up and leaves the bed, but allows herself to lift, and presents her arms. This gesture is his way of approval, to show him, although, to some extent, he is completely unnecessary, as parents can raise him without extending his arms. “

“The little road is something like that: something is very necessary, and at the same time, it is completely ridiculous,” he says. “It is necessary to host the gift of God, but ridiculous in the face of the challenge, and the proportion between the humanitarian work that receives this gift and the work of God himself,” the university president adds. “The small path is the path of trust,” trust in God, “does everything for me,” which we respond to “our poor and small love.”

The centenary will continue this Sunday, May 18, by broadcasting the Pope Liu fourteent “Santa Teresa and the Little Holiness Road”. It will be concluded today on the eve of the Carmel chapel, in the presence of Carmel.
