St. Thérèse: In the Arms of Jesus - Theresian Anniversaries 2024 Text 8

In the Arms of Jesus In this episode, we reflect on In the Arms of Jesus, a moving passage from Manuscript C, 35v-37r, where St. Thérèse of Lisieux meditates on the intimate relationship between the soul and God. Through her profound imagery of being “drawn” into the flames of Christ’s love, Thérèse illuminates the transformative power of surrender and trust. We discuss her insights on prayer, the mystical union with God, and the soul’s role as a link in the chain of God’s greater plan. Discover how Thérèse’s reflections can inspire us to deepen our trust in God’s mercy and embrace the call to a life of love and service. Whether you’re steeped in Carmelite spirituality or simply seeking to enrich your prayer life, this episode offers a glimpse into the heart of St. Thérèse’s spiritual legacy.
