| Abstract: | The article focuses on a personal reflection inspired by the visit of the relics of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, a 19th-century Catholic saint, to a church in the United States. The author recounts a long-standing connection with St. Thérèse, whose relics rarely leave France, and describes attending a Mass and veneration event with her mother. Although the experience did not bring an immediate spiritual transformation, the author found renewed hope through the saint’s example and a priest’s homily about despair and forgiveness, leading to a reimagined, personal relationship with God beyond institutional confines. The clavicle bone of St. Thérèse, symbolizing early formation and gradual connection, became a metaphor for the author’s evolving faith journey. [Extracted from the article] |
