Description
The wisdom of St. Th r se of Lisieux--for all who want to pray
How did this saint's precious--even precocious--childhood devotion to God develop into such wisdom? Th r se Martin entered a Carmelite convent at age 15 and died of tuberculosis at age 24. In that short time, her "little flower" of a life came into vibrant, spiritual bloom.
Millions of people know and adore St. Th r se--the world's most popular saint during the first half of the 20th century--from her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, an international bestseller.
This warm, wise little book will help you to discover firsthand how to receive God's presence and love. You will:
- Walk with Th r se through days of humility, suffering, beauty, and spiritual sensitivity.
- Discover how, through prayer and growing faith, you too can follow your own Little Way to authentic Christian experience.
