CATHOLICISM - Bishop Barron on Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- Friends, before she died at age twenty-four on September 30, 1897, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux remarked, “I want to spend my heaven in doing good on earth.”
Her intercessory power has been manifested in the lives of many, including my own.
The Little Flower has been a personal friend for a long time, and we adopted her very early as the patroness of Word on Fire.
Whenever we find ourselves in a difficult situation, we call upon her, and very often solutions more or less present themselves.
In time, every member of our team would start to notice these “Little Flower moments.”
We dedicated the “CATHOLICISM” film series to her, and we launched the Word on Fire Institute on her feast day. We continue to rely on her heavenly help to this day.
On this feast of the Little Flower, please enjoy this excerpt from episode eight of “CATHOLICISM” and consider reading her powerful autobiography, “Story of a Soul.”

My mother had cancer, and I prayed to St. Therese for weeks for her intercession. Mother traveled a long distance to visit me, and arrived at my door with her arms full of red roses. A mother does not usually give flowers to a son, and I knew these roses were St. Therese saying Mother would be all right. She was, and we had many more years together.
That is such a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing it. I am praying for you and your family 😊
❤
❤️❤️❤️beautiful, thank you for sharing
When I converted from protestantism and joined the Church on 04.20.2019, I took as my confirmation name Thérèse. I struggle with my relationship with God the Father & Jesus due to past trauma. May St. Thérèse please continue to pray for me to know God the Father and Jesus with childlike love and trust.
Edit: I was sexually molested as a little girl from ages 8-13. I am in trauma therapy.
🙏
Amen 🙏
St Therese had a terrible spiritual crisis not long before she died where she felt there was a great tunnel or obstacle between her and God She felt God did not hear her prayers. But she persevered and finally felt God’s consolation before her death
Pray for us St Therese ofbChild Jesus.
Revisit the obstacles that caused you trauma then ask God, while revisiting each one, "How do I heal in the pain of this memory"?
God is in the memory, once you learn where He was within it, you will feel closer to Him.
She died 125 years ago. From today. Now I am 25. Almost, one (1) century after her farewell, I came.

St. Therese took her life back after she saw the statue of Our Blessed Mother Mary, said Bishop Barron. I have a lot to say, but I'll just say that your comment was my sort of comment, and thankyou for it.
Dear Little flower, St. Therese I humbly ask for your intercession to Almighty God for my daughter, Eliana. She has had such a tough early life with significant behavior issues due to RAD, and abstinent defiance disorder. Praying humbly the God might Gio, heal her, so she might have a more enjoyable life. Praying for a miracle🙏🙏🙏 Prayers also for my son Alec. Prayers also that my family that they may be open to her return when the time is right. Humbly Lord according to your Holy Will. 🙏🙏🙏
What happen if she doesn’t answer ?
@@shinsekai7905 if who doesn’t answer? It is God who ultimately answers.
@@johnmendez3028 the saints. many people pray to the saints and ended not getting it answer
God always answer prayers. What you need to understand is that although He answer prayers, it may be different than what you ask for or what you think. It’s just that God knows what is needed. And He doesn’t necessarily have a timeline, you ask, He answers. This is where trusting in God’s Divine Providence comes into play. He loves us so very much. He has a plan for all of us.
@@shinsekai7905 🤔….you suggest that “the saints. many people pray to the saints and ended not getting it answer” ⬅️this sounds a lot like your opinion. Consider when Jesus said “knock and the door will be open to you” Our prayer and the pray of the saints prayer work in the same way, effectively knocking on the door. When we knock we always get an answer, and it isn’t always the answer that we want, but it is the answer that God knows is best. Ultimately as in the example of the Virgin Mary when the Angel came to Mary about the Christ child Jesus, we should always want his will over our own.
Our prayer always should start with God’s will in mind. God always answers our prayers. His answer takes into account ‘needs’ over ‘wants’. When we ask for the intercessory prayer of the saints (asking them to pray for our intentions) it should always be with God’s Will in mind. God knows what is best in accordance with his Holy Will.
Dear Bishop Barron,
I was browsing through Netflix and turned on "Blonde" and then another KDrama, but neither could hold my attention. When I came here to YT, I saw this - and just finished it as I write. Thank you for this beautiful telling of St. Therese's story... indeed THESE videos feed the soul... the better use of time.
I recommend boycotting Netflix because of their support of various evil things.
I'm falling in love with St..There's more each day because she answers my prayers, as simple as that. For the longest time, I did not know who exactly was coming to my rescue because I was praying to more than one Saint. I recently got my answer and there is no doubt in my mind that it's St. Therse. 🙏🙏🍀🇮🇪
St Therese is a unique person. I recommend everyone a familiarity with her beautiful soul.
My friend loved roses. At her burial, the ladies were invited
to take a rose from the bouquet. I so wanted one, but I am a man.
St. Therese helped me get through my friend's pancreatic cancer and I hope
offered my friend some consolation while dying.
I said, St. Therese, I will go to the florist and buy a rose to show my love for you,
and also in honor of my friendship with my friend.
An hour later, at the funeral dinner, another friend walked up to me, gave me
her rose, and said I think our friend would have wanted you to have a rose, too. Take this.
St. Therese pulls through again ! Praise be Jesus Christ !
Bless you, St. Therese... Jesus' little friend 😘
“I will spend my Heaven doing good on earth. I will send forth a shower of roses “
I love you sweet and Holy little Thèrése 🌹 Please pray for us! 🙏🏻🌹🕊✝️❤️🔥
On this beautiful feast day of St Therese of Lisieux the little flower , please fill my heart with a burning Love for Our Lord Jesus Christ the Precious Blood of the Cross. So that through the Intercession of his Dear Holy Mother we will be drawn to a deeper love for Our Holy Catholic Faith and may that love attract inspire and draw people to God.
Thank you
Amen
🙏🙏🙏
Staying in St. Theresa mission. I have come to love her. May she continue to intercede for me and for my family
Flee this anti-church.
God invites us into the throne room to ask for, help, grace, and mercy in times of need. There is no need for saints.
Hebrews 4:14-16 ESV -
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodin1559 Wow.. brother.. you're cursing the very need of divine order with it's structure, better you repent and stop cursing divine order.
@@stephenmorais7758
There are no examples of your "divine order" in scripture.
The only person who is prayed to is God.
Also, don't call me brother. You don't know me. I have no reason to believe that you are a brother in Christ. It is very unlikely that you are my brother considering you defending the anti-church that does not allow regular non-priests to drink the wine of the new covenant. Jesus himself commanded us to drink.
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodin1559 Yes Angel Gabriel visited mother Mary..does he visit you and me ? Or one of your evangelical people..? boy why you guys blasphemy, multiple times in scripture almost each and every passage in the New testament there's a reference to Angel visiting a person who is a saint now ..well you guys ask prayer help from your Evangelical leader's ? Don't you ? but not saints..where were you from .. ? and please understand we are asking prayer help only and only prayer help ..wats the issue with you guys fighting before Lord choosing how to pray ?
@@stephenmorais7758
Sir, angels visited many people throughout the biblical time line.
What does that have to do with praying to anyone but God?
Saint Little Thérèse, pray for us 🌹✝️🤎🙏🏻🤍 🌹 ✨
Pray for us St Therese
Amen 🙏❤️✝️
I've read the autobiography of Saint Therese story of a soul, since saint therese suffered tremendously from dark thoughts, that destroy the soul. It takes so much strength and it is so challenging, a living hell to have these intrusive thoughts. What a battle she fought. I could completely relate as someone that has suffered from severe anxiety and clinical depression I didn't find it too sentimental as you said. I found it moving. Happy and blessed feast day. GRANDE THÉRÈSE ❤️🌹
I've read Story of a Soul a couple times, i absolutely love St. Therese!
Happy Feast dearest Little Flower. Send Roses 🌹 from HEAVEN to all who invoke your intercession 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is the sweetest video format i've seen in a while. So charming and engaging, away from the typical virtual editing that most videos do. I really love this, please keep doing this documentary format.
It’s an excerpt from a DVD series called Catholicism that Barron did when he was just a priest. I used to show it to all my students. I was surprised when Francis made him a Bishop.
St Thèrése was also an advocate of the Holy Face of Jesus. It would be wonderful to do a podcast on this...for all to discover this devotion to the Holy Face. I'm much enjoying all your podcasts Bishop Barren, so full of truth and humility. Thank you! 🙏🏿🕯️
Bishop Barron is one of the best bishops of the Church! I always learn so much from him! It would be a pleasure to meet him one day!
In 1977, I was as an NYPD Sgt. in civilian clothes walking around the streets of NYC. I was planning to do something that was definitely not good for me. But somehow I inadvertently walked into a Christian bookstore that I was most definitely not looking for that day. Disappointed at the venue, I nevertheless decided to stay & browse at the books for sale on the shelves. Suddenly, I was standing face to face with a black & white photo of a young beautiful nun - that appears in this video clip. I felt an immediate romantic attraction to her as though I spotted her across the gymnasium when I was a senior at one of my Catholic High School dances. Her gaze was magnetic. I so desired to know her more intimately. Then a pang of guilt struck me that this was a nun & I shouldn’t be feeling this way. So I turned away & kept browsing up & down other aisles. Sure enough there she was staring at me from the same book placed atop another row of shelves. I picked it up & saw the title was “ A Biography of St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower.” I remembered my mother talking about her when I was young. So I was purchased the book. After reading it I felt I was falling in love with this iron-willed Carmelite sister who would have been a contemporary of my grandmother. Impossible, I thought. But I think she was pursuing me. Next, I devoured her autobiography, Story of a Soul. That did it. I became hooked on Therese. I read everything I could find about her & even began a pen pal relationship with a group of Discalced Carmelites formerly in a Louisville, Ky. Convent. I was privileged to take a six month course on Theresian spirituality being given in St. Patrick’s Cathedral during her centenary in 1997. And I - as well as my classmates - were invited to go to the airport very early one October morning to meet her reliquary when she landed at JFK. She was to begin her tour of New York churches and many others in the U.S. That was a most sacred day in my life with Therese. I got to hug her. Here’s how it happened. My long love affair paid off many times but none as powerful as on that October morning at JFK. After attending Catholic liturgical services in a hangar my classmates and I were asked to form line along the tarmac leading to a mini-van that would take her plexiglass encased reliquary on its tour of New York City churches and elsewhere in the U.S. As I took my place in the line, It happened that my place was at the side door of the mini-van just a few feet back from a uniformed Port Authority Police Officer who was guarding that part of the van.I told him I was a retired NYPD member and added that if he prayed to Therese, his life would never be the same again. He replied, “ What do’ya have a thing for her?” I answered saying , ” I’m nuts about her. She had altered my life. ” Next thing I know her reliquary was loaded into the mini-van from the rear and when it was loaded all the way inside by the pall bearers, the P.A. Officer slid open the side door and said to me, “ Then get in there and tell her.” I climbed in on my knees, wrapped my arms around the plexiglass case holding the small casket or sarcophagus of her relics, and did just that - in tears of gratitude. I will never forget that as long as I live. In closing, my yLouisville Carmelite pen pals once sent me a colorized post card of my Therese and wrote on the back: “ Our Little Sister St. Therese dearly loves her James and has captured his heart. She will draw him closer and closer to her Beloved, Jesus ! “ She did exactly that.
James Devine, NYPD Lieutenant ( ret. 1985). ❤
Very good video. If Bishop Barron hadn't become a priest, he could have had a career as a television presenter. He's a natural.
The little flower analogy struck my heart like a spear, dang. I gotta read Story of a Soul 📚
She is the little flower. Every time I walk or run , here in Swiss, I collect a bunch of little flowers in the road and put in my littles cups in my home, and pray for her love.
Thank you, Ste. Therese, I have received your rose.
I was drawn to St. Therese when I visited a chapel by chance. I was praying to pass an exam and my faith was not that deep. Come to think of it, it was shallow. But glory to God, I passed and my anxieties were lifted during the exam. But that was just the beginning. Little did I know that that was St. Therese's way of bringing me closer to Jesus. There's really something about her that had drawn me to God closely and it's all thanks to her! I wanted to know more about her and then this popped up! What a sign and what a blessing!
Vous êtes le bienvenu en France éternelle Monseigneur. Que Dieu vous bénisse.
I was crying all the time, watching this! I love you, Thérèse of Lisieux! You're such a beautiful and delicate flower, now adorning the very heart of Mary, Jesus and God himself.
St. Therese, please be a daughter to my mama in heaven. Pray for us who are still here on earth. 🌹🌹🌹
A beautiful story. Well presented. God bless.
Thank you Bishop Barron
What an incredible treasure of the Holy Catholic Church!!!!' St. Therese pray for me!!!!
I don’t think I could possibly love this any More than I do now. Excellent job, articulate as always, and just so powerful
She died at 24 and left behind an empire. Bishop Barron you are the apostle of the little Therese. God bless your vocation.
THANK YOU bishop
My favorite saintI love her deeply
What a beautiful video on St Thèrése. I love how you mention her as a little flower on the ground and how no one will notice her. That deepens my love for her. May we be blessed by her prayers and sainthood.
Dear St Therese little flower please pray for my beautiful little granddaughter who isn't yet baptised🙏
I didn’t realize that May 13 was the date she saw the smile of Our Lady.. years later May 13 was also the first apparition of Our Lady of Fatima!
I have loved St Therese since a child and have always had a statue of her since a child. My mum use to sing the song St Theresa of the Roses which I always loved. After decades of not going to church but still remaining a Christian I went back to church one Sunday. The church was quite empty before Mass started and I found myself an empty pew at the back. Feeling a bit lost, not knowing anyone there I noticed there was a picture of a nun on the pew beside me. I picked it up and it was St Therese and a prayer on the back. I sat reading it for a while and it was beautiful. A man came and sat a little back from me and asked me what I was reading and I explained I have just found it here but she has always been my favourite saint and he said then it was meant for you to find. It felt like a very special moment to me. I kept the picture with her thoughts on Jesus and keep it in my Bible. Her thoughts were that we all love what sparkles, but Jesus is hidden and to find something that is hidden in the real treasure.
Today's the feast of the saint after whom my Alma Mater is named. Little Flower of Jesus High School. Happy Feast Bishop and y'all!
Thank you, dear Bishop Barron, for sharing this inspiring CATHOLICISM episode on my Patron Saint, St. Therese of Lisieux. God bless you & your mission abundantly.❣
Happy Feast Day, beautiful souls!
St. Therese 'the Little Flower',⚘pray for us. Amen.
I love you Therese you are my sister
Robert Barron tells this so well.
I love our little flower! St. Therese of Lisieux taught me the greatest lessons from her autobiography. Jesus becomes more accessible through the little way and she appeals to the everyday Christian. Matthew 18:3 is the scripture that her whole ministry stands on. Thank you Bishop Barron for your change of heart toward this great saint. She truly is magnificent. Blessings to you and to the whole world!
A beautiful soul. St Thérèse, pray for us.
Father Barron! We are growing older together. I remember this wonderful DVD first came out and I was just gravitated towards her story. Simple yet so profound. You are such a natural story teller.
St. Therese, the Little Flower, please pick for me a 🌹 Rose from the heavenly garden of our Divine Savior, and send it to me as a message of love. Since you promised to spend your heaven doing good on Earth, please look favorably upon my petitions. Speedily recommend them to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and beg Him to Grant my requests. {Here mention your requests} if this favor is granted to me, I will seek to imitate you more and more, and to be ever more loving and charitable, especially toward God's little and least ones. St. Therese, pray for me and for all my loved ones. Amen.
St. Therese please pick the 🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺 for me and .help me to pray 💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏 my children to be come agood example to serve God. Iike a saint.please.
Thank you Bishop Barron it is an amazing proclamation ... love it
Every year, I read her autobiography The Story Of A Soul.

I like this short documentary. Seeing all the places where this saint lived is authentic. Good production.
GOD never ever stops Calling
Thank you Bishop Barron🙏
Am Orthodox Christian but I use to pray towards Little Flower
My parents gave me her name as my middle name. I cherish this greatly
Thank you Bishop Barron for telling so well the story of the Little Flower. May her message of total humility and trust in Our loving God spread throughout the world at our time of need.
May she continue to teach us to love greatly ordinarily
Thanks father. God bless you
Saint Therese the little flower of Jesus please pray for me and my family! 🙏🙏♥️♥️
Little flower of Jesus, St Therese of Liseux pray for me and the world amen ♥ 🙏
Thank you Bishop Barron for an absolutely beautiful, and interesting video! I enjoyed it so very much! I love Saint Therese!
This is so great! Thank you for this beautiful story. ❤
The greatest saint of modern times.🙏🕯️🌹
May we be watchful and inclined to God’s Will 🙏🏾
Through God's graces, was able to visit St Therese in Lisieux!
So lovely 🥰 my Saint
Love the background music!
Beautiful, thank you Bishop Baron!
Wonderful video!
Neither my mother nor me are of The Church, (she's Pentecostal, and I am a secular Satanist) but we both have a fondness for St. Thérèse.
Jesus's love was so human, so intimate, so small and yet so all-encompassing. She realised this and lived it wholeheartedly.
I hope to channel that love in everything I do!
Hey , If you don't mind me asking ..what does secular satanism mean ? And if you seem to understand Jesus' intimate love ..why do stay you as a secular satanist , dear ?
@@alonamaria279 I believe the romantic character of Satan represents the greatest fight against tyranny and authoritarianism, even when (especially when) all hope is lost.
More concretely, Satanism is the fight against authoritarian Christianity in my country. Most of our elected officials are Christian but do not follow Jesus's teachings about love and forgiveness.
In my opinion, Jesus's intimate love was taken advantage of and manipulated, resulting in his death at the hands of the State.
I think Jesus is way more human and humane than the God of the Old Testament. I think Jesus would have made a great Satanist.
Such a beautiful Saint amen
Beautiful
Thanks. Good video.
I went to school in the 1950s and 60s and so many of my classmates loved Therese but for some reason I could never feel close to her. Then I read The Story of a Life by Father Guy Gaucher and the light went on. St. Therese suffered many temptations and her life wasn't that easy, but her way of doing even the smallest things with great love is one that anyone can follow.
Hey Bishop Barron. This was fantastic and so moving. My God, I cried throughout...just seeing her face as a child moved me to tears, and the way you presented her life...thank you. :) JV Johnny
When St. Therese reliquary was brought to Manila, i forgot what year, i recall hearing a report on by one of the local networks, that Philippine National Police had a record of having no reported crimes in those days her relicts were here. I cannot recall details on the report but it resounds in my memory.
Beautiful video .Many thanks Bishop Barron.Please pray for us St.Therese.🌹
Excellent Bishop Barron. Thankyou for your witness.
Mary Thérèse. I am constantly praying:
'Little Flower, at this hour, show your power' and she answers me!
Such a beautiful basilica to visit, and the gift shop is very worthwhile to go to. St Thérèse, pray for us, and for the ministry of Bishop Barron and the Word on Fire outreach.
St Therese - Thank you for prayers answered after a novena to you for intercessory prayer. I have been doing small things with love, but not doing small things with GREAT love! Thank you for this reminder, Bishop Barron. Word on Fire Institute has helped so many souls grow in our rich Catholic faith. Thank you.
Therese's lovely metaphor for grace as the rain falling equally upon the big trees and the little flower, and nurturing each in accordance with their nature, is invoked every day in Buddhist temples, where it is known as the "dharma rain".
Grace falling from what? Buddha?
@@MattBurrill From a grace cloud.
@@bens4446 Oh of course grace clouds obviously.
Beautiful. Thank you for the gift of her story and taking me to the basilica in her name. May we all be inspired to sainthood through her little way🙏🏼🕊️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you Bishop Barron. GBU. Amen.
Gracias por permitirnos ver este capítulo
Thank you for this beautiful story.
“My only wish is to be forgotten but even that is wishing too much.”
St Therese
What does she mean by that? Why would she want to be forgotten?
@@jakec947 Humility. That's the reason. She knew that only Christ matters, nothing else. And that who has Christ has all, and he who doesn't has nothing.
Thank you bishop Barrón and team🌹
Thank you.
Thank you for this beautifully made video of a great inspiration and a great saint - a truly "great Therese."
thank you for posting this. she makes me cry
Great saint and great narration. Thank you Bishop Barron!
St. Therese teach us your little ways and teach us to love Jesus as you did…
Excellent presentation a Thank you Bishop Barron
Praise god,amen
Saint Theresse bless,protect and pray for us all,amen
St Therese of Lisieux, please pray for us.
There's a beautiful novena to St Therese where she will send you a rose for your prayer to answered. I have prayed it twice in my life for really special needs and I got a rose on both occasions. The prayer can be found in the pieta prayer book. She will answer you.
Though I have the fortune of owning the complete Catholicism Series, It has been a joy and a light watching this fragment from the Eighth chapter. Blessed be Thérèse de Lisieux, and blessed be Bishop Barron.
