Product Description
After Thérèse of Lisieux, commonly known as the Little Flower, died on September 30, 1897, her popularity rapidly extended well beyond her homeland of France. Thérèse has been the inspiration of untold numbers of ordinary people to whom her life proclaimed in a compelling way this gospel truth: absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of God. Thérèse knew that God led her with all of her inadequacies to holiness. She assures us that God can do the same for us. (from back cover)
Praying with Thérèse of Lisieux is more than just a book about Thérèse's spirituality. This book seeks to engage you in praying in the way that Thérèse did about issues and themes that were central to her experience. Each meditation can enlighten your understanding of her spirituality and lead you to reflect on your own experience. (from p. 8 of the Foreword)
Thérèse is the saint of the "Little Way," the way of spiritual childhood. She characterized her way as being like a little child who is lifted up by God through the daily events of life. With eyes ever on God, the child responds to that love, know that God's mercy transforms all. As she reflected on her life, Thérèse recognized that God led her, with all her inadequacies and littleness, to holiness. She assures us that God can do the same for us. (from p. 28 of Introduction)
