""Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions,
nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do
them.""--Saint Therese of Lisieux
One of the greatest spiritual classics ever written, this
influential autobiography has been translated into nearly every
language, capturing hearts and minds around the world. Simply
written in clear, enchanting prose, this memoir reveals the path to
true inner peace, for "Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds
nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He
cherishes simplicity."
Born in France, young Therese Martin (1873-1897) entered the Carmel
Convent of Lisieux at the age of fifteen. Also known as "the Little
Flower," her autobiography, written at the request of her Carmelite
Superiors in the last years of her life, includes poignant girlhood
recollections and her teachings of "the little way of childhood."
The "little way," inspired by the Gospel, places love at the very
center of every action we take. Traditional yet unique, delicate
yet heroic, Therese taught a shining spirituality that could easily
be adapted into everyday life. Her divine words of acceptance and
love are universal, and have gently led many people--both within
the Catholic Church and outside of Christianity--back to their
faith.
Saint Therese was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1925. In 1997, she
was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II.
