God as Parent: From the writings and lived experiences of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

Presented by
Fr. Mikhail Woodruffe, O.Carm.

Referencing the life experience and writings of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, this webinar aims to invite the participant to learn and reflect on one’s developed image of God as parent. The Carmelite tradition presents a number of well respected figures whose writings show their image of God using parental language. Some of these figures lost their parents at a young age, as seen in Thérèse’s loss of her mother at the age of four and her father years later while she was in the convent of Lisieux. This webinar will explore this connection between parental experiences and images of God, especially looking at the life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, “the Little Flower” as we celebrate her Feast Day that very week.
