24th Sunday in Ordinary Time-St. Thérèse of Lisieux, often called "The Little Flower," was born in 1873 in Alençon, France. Known for her deep devotion to God from a young age, she entered the Carmelite convent at just 15, focusing on a path of simplicity and love, which she referred to as the "Little Way." Her teachings emphasize finding holiness in everyday actions. Though her time in the convent was short, her impact on the Church has been enduring, with her spirituality offering inspiration to many seeking closeness with Christ through humble acts of love.
Today, I invite you to reflect on the Gospel of John 3:1-21, which tells the story of Nicodemus, a Pharisee, and his encounter with Jesus. This passage is key to understanding the importance of Baptism as a means to enter the Kingdom of God.
