Lent with
St Thérèse of Lisieux
and Bishop Greg Homeming
In his first 2024 Lent talk, Bishop Greg Homeming explores St Thérèse's experience of God – an experience that was spoken into her brokenness, vulnerability and failures. It is a moving reflection on how we too can encounter God in the most messed-up and seemingly inescapable parts of our lives.
In this second Lenten talk, Bishop Greg moves on to contemplate with us how Thérèse responded to God's loving encounter with her. How did being touched by God in the heart of her brokenness and powerlessness affect Thérèse's thinking and living?
In this third and final talk for Lent 2024, Bishop Greg asks the hard question: what do you do when God's love seems to be absent? He responds by drawing upon how St Thérèse responded when she felt engulfed in a night of nothingness.
