St. Thérèse’s Little Way of Trust and Dependence on God | Fr. Mark Baron, MIC

Fr. Mark explained that this experience helps us understand the heart of Thérèse’s Little Way: our relationship with God is rooted in dependence. Like children, we are called to trust Him completely. Dependency on God is not weakness, it is where true strength is found. When we fail, struggle, or feel small, God does not abandon us. He loves us in our weakness and always gives us the grace to begin again.

Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, teaches that we are personally responsible for our actions and for how we respond to God. Drawing on Ezekiel, he reminds us that we cannot blame our parents or previous generations for our own sinful choices. Salvation is a gift of God’s grace, but we are responsible for freely responding to that grace, repenting of our transgressions, and making moral choices according to His will. God desires our good, although His plans may not always match our wishes. Trusting Him means believing that He is a loving Father who knows what is truly best for us, even when obedience is difficult or we do not fully understand what He asks.
Fr. Matthew Lamoureux's homily beautifully echoes two of the greatest spiritual messages of our time: trust in Divine Mercy and Our Lady's call in Medjugorje to conversion through prayer and perseverance. The Gospel reminds us that God is the Sower, but the condition of the soil determines how fruitful His Word becomes.
