Panoramic views of the sites of St. Therese at Alencon and Lisieux and spend a "virtual summer vacation" with St. Thérèse at Saint Ouen-le-Pin

/

  Please visit the site "la petite Thérèse" to see its latest and most beautiful offering: a panoramic view of Alencon and Lisieux and of the sites associated with Therese in each.  This opportunity to see the sites associated with Thérèse as they appear in the surrounding landscape is not to be missed.  See Les Buissonnets, St. Pierre's Cathedral, the Lisieux Carmel, and the basilica in Lisieux; see Therese's birthplace in Alencon and the village of Semallè, where she was nursed.

This panoramic visit is the work of those who have created a beautiful "virtual museum" out of the house at Saint-Ouen-le-Pin where Thérèse spent several summer vacations.  Their work is exquisite; I cannot presume to praise it.  A webcam allows you to visit the house and garden 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  See more about this pilgrimage site and about Therese's time at Saint-Ouen-le-Pin.   What a beautiful way to create a pilgrimage site!  How wonderful it would be if other places Therese visited could be similarly made available.

On Wednesday, July 10, to honor the feast of  Louis and Zelie Martin, Father Jim Kubicki, the national director of the  Apostleship of Prayer, a great friend of Therese and a dear friend of  mine, spoke about Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin and about the  vocation to family prayer on "Inner Life,' a call-in radio show for  spiritual direction on Relevant Radio.  He spoke sensitively and in depth about the  marital spirituality of Louis and Zelie as it applies to us and about  the vocation of prayer, and graciously recommended both "Saint Therese  of Lisieux: A Gateway" and the book "A Call to a Deeper Love," the  letters of Louis and Zelie.  Please listen to the show at http://www.relevantradio.com/audios/the-inner-life (select the date July 10).  [I regret that this audio appears to have disappeared from the Web site].
