The Prophetic Bones of St Thérèse of Lisieux

The relics of St Thérèse of Lisieux will be visiting England from September 16 - October 16. Her relics have visited nearly 40 countries around the world and wherever they have gone people have experienced conversion, healing, a renewed sense of vocation and answers to prayers. Fr John Udris, Dean of Northampton Cathedral and author of The Gift of Thérèse of Lisieux helps us to understand and appreciate the significance of the relics of St Thérèse and her prophetic bones.

‘I want to light the way for souls like the prophets…’ This is how Thérèse of Lisieux expressed her ambition and ultimate dream just a year before she died. The Carmelite order to which she belonged looks back to the prophets Elijah and Elisha as its inspiration.

Lent - Season of Conversion

There are some amazing things to learn from the conversion of St Paul on the road to Damascus. The background for this crucial turning point in the apostle’s life is that Paul, then named Saul, was a young Jewish rabbi, in fact a zealous Pharisee, whose zeal led him to believe that the followers of ‘The Way’, as the apostles and the earliest converts to Christ were called, were a dangerous heresy within Judaism and needed to be stamped out. Saul was an approving witness to the death of the earliest martyr, Stephen. Stephen had proclaimed that he saw heaven opened and Jesus in glory at the right hand of the Father. Perhaps it was this very proclamation that sowed the seed of the Gospel message in Saul’s mind and began the process that was to culminate on the Damascus road.
