St Therese Of Lisieux The Way Of Love (Encounter The Saints)

Saint Thérèse, often called the Little Flower, was born in Normandy, France in 1873. The youngest daughter of Louis and Zelie Martin, Thérèse was a lively, lovable little girl. She entered the Carmelite convent at age fifteen, where she dedicated herself to prayer and acts of charity. But Thérèse knew that she could do nothing without God. By trusting God with everything, especially her mistakes and shortcomings, Thérèse found a "little way" to become a saint—a left a legacy that has inspired millions to do small things with great love! As one of the most important saints of the nineteenth century, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux offers a shining example of how to follow Christ in everyday life with simplicity, humility, courage, and charity.
