Regardless of your vocation, the Little Way of St. Therese of Lisieux can help you in your spiritual life. But what exactly is this Little Way and how does it work on a practical level? This is what we wanted to discuss and we knew just the right person to invite to share her wisdom on this topic: Nancy Bandzuch! Nancy is a mom of many little ones who has shared extensively about the spirituality of St. Therese on her blog Do Small Things with Love and her podcast Just One Small Thing. She is so lovely and down to earth.
In this episode Nancy talks us through St. Therese’s Little Way and acceptance of our own smallness can open us up to the grace God wants to offer us and lead us to holiness. Nancy also explains some misconceptions about St. Therese since many of us have trouble connecting with her because we assume St. Therese didn’t struggle like we do ( her writings show that she really did!). We also get into what living out the Little Way looks like in our daily lives and how it can help us in our vocations. It’s an inspiring and beautiful message, so grab a cup of tea and enjoy!

This is exactly what I needed to here! I have a new love for the little flower now. Thank you so much!
This is the 4th time I have listened to this episode. My 3 year old actually requested to “hear the Mommies talk about St. Therese again.” Thank you for a beautiful episode which keeps reminding me that I can stop STRIVING all the time and just let God love me and love through me. Perfect timing for a quiet and simple Advent.
