    EP 14 | St. Thérèse's 'Little Way' Inspires Millions | Fr. Ferdinand Purnomo O.C.D.

    In this episode, Father Ferdinand Purnomo, O.C.D., delves into the profound depth of St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s "Little Way." We discuss the hard truths of Thérèse’s life and how her "Little Way" serves as a concrete, lived translation of the Gospel for the modern world. This conversation explores why the Church recognises this young Carmelite as a Doctor of the Church and how her path remains a powerful guide for the universal call to Holiness articulated in Lumen Gentium (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church), Chapter 5.

    Grace Feltoe, Founder of the Musica Sacra Project, speaks about the vital role that Sacred Liturgical Music plays in the life of the faithful. Grounded in the teaching of the Second Vatican Council’s Sacrosanctum Concilium, the conversation explores the place of Gregorian chant, the meaning of active participation, and the relationship between Latin and vernacular music in the Church’s liturgy today. We also discuss the challenges parishes face in discerning authentic liturgical music, balancing pastoral accessibility with theological and musical excellence, and how the proper formation of clergy and musicians can contribute to the renewal of sacred music in the Church.
