Fr. Lawrence Carney III reflects on St. Thérèse of Lisieux's deep spiritual insights, particularly her notion of "Great Abandonment" and the importance of Holy Hours, emphasizing her belief in the transformative power of silence before God. St. Thérèse illustrates the essence of true holiness as the indwelling of God within the soul, free from illusions, and concludes with poignant thoughts on humility, love, and the need for spiritual guidance, especially during times of desolation.
