By Fr. Lawrence Smith

Theme: The Catholic Reconquest: Motives, Models, and Methods

Title: The Little Way

Father explores the "little way" of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, emphasizing how to find holiness in ordinary daily life. He uses her teachings and the examples of other saints, like St. Lawrence and St. Francis of Assisi, to illustrate that sanctity is achievable for everyone. The central message is to embrace all of life's challenges and small sufferings with love, viewing them as gifts from God. Father Smith encourages the audience to act with "holy audacity," trusting completely in God's love and mercy. Ultimately, the path to heaven is found not in grand gestures but in performing small, everyday actions with great love and a joyful heart.
