True charity consists in bearing all our neighbor’s defects — not being surprised at their weakness, but edified at their smallest virtues.

St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus

Brother Joseph F. Schmidt, FSC, one of the world's leading experts on Thérèse of Lisieux and author of Everything is Grace: the Life and Way of Thérèse of Lisieux, sat down with the Order of Carmelites recently and recorded an 8-part series of 2-minute webisodes on Thérèse and the Little Way. In episode 4, he discusses the distinction Thérèse made between loving her neighbors (specifically the other sisters she lived with) and liking them.
