of Lisieux.
 This
film, directed by Leonardo Defilippis, tells the story of St. Therese
of Lisieux, a young girl who fell in love with Jesus Christ and demonstrated
a path of spirituality, known as the "Little Way", through the
actions of unconditional love, human compassion, and selfless devotion
to duty.
Starring Lindsay Younce, this moving true story is told in an inspiring
way that invites the audience to contemplate and apply such spirituality
in their own lives.
Order
the Soundtrack for Thérèse: The Story of Saint Thérèse
of Lisieux.
Composed entirely by a cloistered Carmelite nun,
the Thérèse musical score features the talents of
various Pacific Northwest musicians under the direction of conductor Vilem
Sokol, who is widely known for his work with the Seattle Youth Symphony
Orchestra. This inspirational score delicately weaves a beautiful melodic
thread through the true story of Thérèse, sewing
together a balance between simple confidence and a sensitive purity, akin
to Saint Thérèse herself.
The Thérèse soundtrack quietly embraces the audience
and draws them in to reflect on the life and spiritual journey of Thérèse
Martin, an ordinary girl who desired to love God and others in a selfless
way. This method of living, simply called the “Little Way” and
tenderly depicted in the film, formed the foundation for Thérèse’s
spiritual life and led her to become Saint Thérèse, “the
greatest saint of modern times.”

Dogma And Preaching: Applying Christian Doctrine to
Daily Life (2nd Ed)
by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger
This volume is an unabridged edition of Dogma and Preaching, a work that appeared in a much-reduced form in English, in 1985. The new book contains twice as much material as first
English edition. "Dogma", for many people, is a bad word. For the well-informed believer, it shouldn't be. Dogmas are truths revealed by God, which should enlighten the minds,
guide the choices, and gladden the hearts of Jesus' disciples, including pastors, deacons, and lay teachers. But, as Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), notes in the foreword
to this book, "The path from dogma to proclamation or preaching has become very troublesome." Finding ways to relate the content of the Church's dogmas to everyday life can be
challenging for today's preachers and teachers. Some people find the task so daunting that they leave dogma out. As a result, they wind up presenting something other than the
Church's faith and speak in their own name, offering perhaps unwittingly merely their own, subjective ideas, rather than the Word of God. In Dogma and Preaching, the theologian
and priest Joseph Ratzinger provides (1) a theory of preaching for today; (2) application of this theory to some themes for preaching drawn from the Church's dogmas; (3) meditations
and sermons based on the liturgical year and the communion of saints; and (4) some thoughts regarding the decade after the Second Vatican and Christianity's seeming irrelevance.
Ratzinger insists that sound preaching should rest on three pillars... Read more!
