Saint Thérèse experienced two spiritual consolations during her stay in Montpellier. One in 1864, during her morning prayer at the end of her retreat, she received the inspiration for her “Self-Surrender” (𝙎𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙧𝙚𝙧). Two years later, in the midst of a challenging period, she experienced the “Vision of Goodness” (𝙇𝙖 𝘽𝙤𝙣𝙩é 𝙙𝙚 𝘿𝙞𝙚𝙪) where she saw the word “Goodness” written on all creatures – animate and inanimate, in “letters of gold.” These two experiences were later recognized as important sources of Cenacle Spirituality (General Chapter, 1998). These experiences did not come during good timed, but amid instability and suffering. To know more about the Spirituality of the Cenacle, click here: https://cenacle-gen.org/en/spirituality/#
