A provocative look at the life and charism of this popular saint.

On Christmas Eve, 1886, a young girl, Therese Martin, received special grace. Although it was the littleness of the Christ Child that reached out to this girl and taught her to give up the defects of childhood, the grace was by no means small. Her long bout with scruples and empty fears was not completely over, yet in her own words, 'since that night I have never been defeated in any combat, but rather walked from victory to victory.' Such was her experience of God's mercy that she decided then and there to give her life to the mission of converting sinners. This book by Cliff Ermatinger presents us with deep theological insights into the meaning of the seemingly simple life and journey of St. Therese of Lisieux.This little book treats of a love story that began on January 4, 1873, the day of Therese's baptism. On that day God began to court the soul of this little girl who would remain just that a little girl. She would also learn to correspond with her baptismal grace, thus maturing into a strong-willed woman and ultimately into the faithful bride of her divine Spouse.Her formal relationship with Christ and her new insertion into his life began fittingly on Christmas. Also fittingly, her relationship with him on earth ended on Calvary. Tracing St. Therese of Lisieux's life, we discover that she begins with the life of grace, going from child of God to child in the Son. She then advances to a theological existence; from theological existence to union; and from union to its culmination in espousals with Christ: the ordinary terminus of the spiritual life to which everyone is called. Having arrived at such union with the divine Spouse, Therese was next inducted into the victimhood of Christ. The author then examines the relation between the type of victimhood St. Therese experienced and the type of sin she was expiating: atheism.

This lavishly illustrated picture book traces the life and death of Therese of Lisieux, the nineteenth century French lass whose life of devotion and sacrifice brought her canonization as a Saint of the Roman Catholic Church in 1925.

As we become acquainted with the histories of those in whom, in long succession, God has been pleased to show forth examples of holiness of life, it seems as if every phase of human existence had in the history of the Church received its consecration as a power to bring men nearer to their Maker. But there is no limit to the types of sanctity which the Creator is pleased to unfold before His Creatures. To many, on reading for the first time the story of Sister Teresa of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face, it came almost as a shock to find a very youthful member of an austere Order, strictly retired from the world, engaged in hidden prayer and mortification, appearing before us to reveal to the whole world the wonders of the close intimacy of friendship to which her Divine Spouse had been pleased to call her. Certainly the way by which Soeur Thérèse was led is not the normal life of Carmel, nor hers the manner whereby most Carmelites are called to accomplish the wondrous apostolate of intercession to which their lives are given. But no less certain is it that, in her particular case, her work for God and her apostolate were not to be confined between the walls of her religious home, or to be limited by her few years on earth.

A fresh, authoritative translation of the Little Flower's autobiography from the original French. Readers will be inspired by her simple spirituality and writings on topics like purity, God's will, grace, self-abandonment, joy, and much more.

"The greatest saint of modern times" said Pope Pius X back in 1914, speaking of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. And, in 1997, Pope John Paul II declared ThTrFse a Doctor of the Church, citing the timeliness of her doctrine and the wisdom and practicality with which she grasped the Gospel message.Why all this acclaim for Thérèse, who was only a little middle-class girl from France at the end of the 19th century? The Centenary of her death, 1897-1997, was celebrated all over the globe. Why is Thérèse so universally loved, invoked and imitated by people from all walks of life in every country in the world?Fr. Bernard Bro, director of the French publishing house, +ditions du Cerf, and a key figure in publishing the definitive editions of Thérèse's writings, decided to set forth those aspects of her life, personality, and writing that do indeed mark Thérèse of Lisieux as one of the truly great exponents of Catholic doctrine. What she offers in her life and in her writing, he claims, is "one of the most certain and simplest evangelical shortcuts ever proposed". What we find in her words is a "struggle between darkness and faith, humor and sadness, realism and pretense, maturity and childhood". The life, words, and texts of Thérèse are of an astonishing freshness, accuracy, immediacy, strength, and genius.According to Bro, Thérèse does not flinch before the important questions everyone must face: Why death? How can we continue in hope when suffering and pain threaten to overwhelm us? How can we remain faithful-and joyful--when we are shaken by the circumstances of our life? And first of all, how are we to love? Thérèseanswered these questions both by her life and through her writing. Illustrated with many photos.

The premier biography of one of the world's best-loved Catholic saints, as presented by the priest who has devoted his life to telling her story.

Your director for this retreat, Loving Our Way Into Holiness, is Therese of Lisieux, who has been called the greatest saint of modern times. She discovered--rediscovered--a way open to anyone who wants sanctity. The way is simple: the path of complete trust, a child's trust in a loving Parent. She called her path the "little way" and anchored it in the word of God. Simple but not easy, the "little way" challenges our notions of sanctity as personal achievement, as strength of character, as undeviating fulfillment of laws and rules. It roots us in the sanctity of reality--the here and now, in ordinary life, lived under the providence of God.

Traces the life of the twentieth-century French saint, describes the daily routine of a Carmelite cloister, and examines Saint Therese's writings
