Oct 24, 2013 · Thérèse of Lisieux offers an entirely different—and liberating—way to think about mental health.

It is a well-known fact that St Therese had scruples, which are most basically described as a form of religious OCD. Fear that her sins had offended God or that she had committed a mortal sin plagued her at different times in her life. A childhood that included the death of her mother at a very young age, the loss of her sister, her ‘second mother’...
I was always a very sensitive child. I used to cry over everything. Sometimes I cried and I didn’t know why, I just felt sad at the world. So it was irritating to hear of St. Therese’s childhood piety when I felt I’d been such an overly emotional child. But I discovered that she too, had cried her way through her early years, unhappy at school and ...
St. Therese was miraculously cured of her hypersensitivity, and after joining the Carmelite nuns, became much more emotionally stable and a dependable sister in Carmel. I have found that during those times of crisis in life, when the ground seems to have been robbed from under your feet and the future feels like it has been wiped out, she remains f...
When St. Therese’s relics were brought to London in 2009, my mother and I made sure to go. By sheer coincidence, my brother also happened to be in London that day and met up and joined us. I prayed for my family that day, for all our struggles, for the myriad of seemly unsolvable problems that exist in every family. In the years that followed, I kn...
I defy anyone to look at pictures of St. Therese throughout the years of her life and deny that she had a sense of humor! A barely suppressed cheeky smileand an enormous sense of fun seem to be lurking in her eyes. This puts pay to any suggestion that she was too out of touch, solemn or serious to be relatable! Reading her ‘Story of a Soul’, despit...
Two quotes from St. Therese have stuck with me whenever I feel frustrated at my lack of endurance in my faith. The first relates to sleep. She said: “I should be distressed that I drop off to sleep during my prayers and during my thanksgiving after Holy Communion. But I don’t feel at all distressed. I know that children are just as dear to their pa...
OK, so I didn’t like all the flowery imagery around St. Therese, but I did love that she said “After my death, I will let fall a shower of roses. I will spend my heaven doing good upon earth. I will raise up a mighty host of little saints. My mission is to make God loved.” Simply put, if a saint promises that they will spend their time in heaven he...
Finally, in my life, I discovered her Little Way. Whenever I struggle in my faith, it is usually because I have let my own failings, sins and shortcomings become greater in my mind than the mercy and love of God. I have lost all perspective of myself in the hands of a Father who loves me. St. Therese is a perfect reminder that every day, no matter ...
Remarkably, among those who developed what we now call OCD were three of the greatest luminaries in the history of the Christian religion: Martin Luther, John Bunyan, and Saint Therese of Lisieux. Luther, architect of Europe’s sixteenth century Protestant Reformation, is a figure of incomparable importance in entire the history of Western ...
Today, Fr. Michael-Joseph Paris, OCD, wants to share an encouraging message using the life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux as an example of how our inadequacies and limitations can transform into strengths, leading to significant growth in holiness and virtue.
