Awaken to desire and freedom with Thérèse

Thérèse transmitted to her novices the desire to love by awakening them to freedom and the love of God. From Thérèse's texts, everyone will discover that the mission of the family is also to transmit this desire by helping children to be free and find meaning in their lives, as Jesus shows in the Gospel.

Thérèse’s little way, abandonment and trust

For families, it is about supporting our imperfections, recognizing our weaknesses, abandoning ourselves to the Father and trusting him, following Jesus and Mary. The figure of Léonie Martin, who lived Thérèse's little path on a daily basis with its limits, complexes, and suffering will also be mentioned as an encouragement to parents not to be discouraged.
