Radio Interview: Exploring ‘Story of a Soul’

Beginning Oct. 1, Ascension Press offers a 28-day podcast designed to guide listeners through a reading of “Story of a Soul,” the much-loved spiritual autobiography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

George Matysek talks about the project with one of the hosts of the new podcast, Carmelite Father Michael-Joseph Paris of St. Thérèse.

Father Michael-Joseph is a native of the Archdiocese of Baltimore who grew up at St. John the Evangelist in Columbia. He was a seminarian at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg and was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Washington in 2011.

In 2016, Father Michael-Joseph entered initial formation with the Discalced Carmelites and made his first profession of vows in 2018. He studied Carmelite spirituality in both Ávila and Madrid and professed his final vows with the Carmelites last year.

Father Michael-Joseph currently serves as subprior and director of postulants in Wisconsin.
