Just as, to learn about the life of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, we read the “Story of a Soul”, it is also worth reading the “Story of a Family”, to learn about the environment full of God’s love in which she was born and was forged such a great saint. In this homily, Father Paulo Ricardo tells a little of this story, marked at all times by a dialogue between earth and Heaven: on the one hand, the desire of Saint Louis and Saint Zélia to hand over to God everything they were and had, and On the other, divine Providence, which accepted the sacrifice of this couple, but in a surprising and unexpected way. This homily was given by Father Paulo Ricardo on July 12, 2023, during morning Mass at the Cristo Rei Parish, in Várzea Grande (MT). On the occasion, Saint Luís and Saint Zélia, parents of Saint Teresinha, were celebrating the anniversary of their marriage.
