Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Yesterday as Father Dave began his homily, he asked us if we were familiar with the expression “the patience of Job”. I think it would be safe to say that the saint we commemorate today, Saint Therese of the Child Jesus had the patience of Job. She was only fifteen years old when she entered the convent. She died at the age of 24 but from 15 to 24 she endured resentment from some of the other members of her community, experienced interior darkness and the onset of tuberculosis.
