![]() ![]() I found this attribute of Thérése to be awe-inspiring. Raised in a devout Catholic home, in France, in the late 1800’s, Thérése seemed to intuitively understand, at a very young age, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux’s teaching that we are to love God for God’s sake, not our own. Thérése made the quality of her life, a gift to God in thanksgiving for His creation of her. Thérése will grip your heart from the very beginning, right up to her last breath, as she tells you the story of her life – her “little way.” She lived for only 24 years, but in that time, she accomplished so much. Yet, Saint Thérése of Lisieux was anything but non-descript! From the title alone, we garner a peek at this beloved saint’s humility, as if the story could be about any soul – very non-descript. So, I thought it appropriate to share a bit of what I learned about this beloved saint by reading her book, The Story of a Soul. ![]() ![]() Today we celebrate the Feast Day of Saint Thérése of Lisieux. ![]()
