Episode Details

In this meditation, we return to the wisdom of St Thérèse of Lisieux and her teaching on trust, confidence and simplicity in the spiritual life.

St Thérèse reminds us that meditation is not simply about relaxation or finding calm, but about something deeper: cultivating awareness of divine presence and allowing that awareness to transform us from within.

Together, we reflect on the primary intention of the practice — to enter into relationship with divine love, and to allow compassion, mercy and peace to take root in us.

This meditation offers a space to pause and ask an important question: What is the deepest intention of my life? And how might that be united with the practice of prayer and contemplation?

Grounded in breath and stillness, this meditation invites us into greater trust — trust in the process, trust in grace, and trust in the unfolding of our own inner life.

This meditation offers support for spiritual grounding, trust, contemplative prayer, clarity of intention, inner peace and emotional balance.

It can be used as part of a daily meditation practice, for reflection during times of uncertainty, or as a moment of calm, winding down and preparation for sleep.
