S14E05: The Visitation of S. Teresa Avila

Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of S. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows, begs the intercession of S. Therese of Lisieux on behalf of a dual intention from Petite, a long-time listener, for assistance against scrupulosity and for baby Bobby, who was recently admitted to the NICU and baptized in extremis . Today's reflection considers S. Teresa of Avila, famous reformer of the Carmelite order and mystic, whose ecstasies mirror the experience of S. John the Baptist during the Visitation, and the example she calls us to follow in savoring the things that are of God rather than of the world.
