The Little Way of St. Therese of Lisieux Revisited...

This is a post script to the series I did recently on St. Therese of Lisieux's "The Little Way" (here)...

On his blog, Experimental Theology, Richard Beck wrote a good piece entitled "The Little Way and the New Legalism of Radical Christianity" in which he highlights Therese of Lisieux's "little way" as an example of what "radicalness" in everyday ordinary living might look like. He says the following:

"What is needed, in my estimation, isn't a generic call to 'faithful presence'--be nice and a hard worker wherever you are--but a way to get the radicalness of something like the Sermon on the Mount infused into 'everyday ordinary living.'

And that, I would argue, is the genius of St. Thérèse."

To get the context of what he's saying, see his blog here.
