Ever feel like you need to fix everything? Climate change, world hunger, injustice, and all the problems flooding your social media feed can make it seem like nothing you do is ever enough. So how can you make a real difference without feeling completely overwhelmed?
In this episode of Catholic Central, Gabby and Nick explore how to make a difference in the world through the Catholic faith, everyday kindness, and the wisdom of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. Known as the Little Way, the spiritual approach of St. Thérèse offers a powerful reminder: you don not have to do extraordinary things to live an extraordinary life of love.
St. Thérèse discovered that holiness is not reserved for famous people or those who can change the world overnight. It is found in the ordinary moments of everyday life -in forgiving someone who hurt you, helping a friend, showing patience when you are frustrated, or doing a small task with great love.
But can small acts of kindness really change the world? What does the Catholic Church teach about making a difference? And how can you live your faith when the problems of the world feel too big to handle?
Discover how the Little Way of St. Thérèse can help you overcome feeling overwhelmed, practice everyday holiness, and find meaningful ways to serve others right where you are. Because changing the world does not always start with a big movement. Sometimes, it starts with one small act of love.
You do not have to fix the whole world. Start by loving the people in front of you!
