Follow the footsteps of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. A Carmelite nun who joined the convent at the young age of fifteen, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux lived a cloistered life of obscurity. Though she preferred hidden sacrifice during her short life, her words, her legacy and her “little way” have made her one of the more popular saints of today. Live the “little way.” Thérèse’s road was one of suffering, smallness, spir¬itual childhood, abandonment to the benevolence of the Lord, trials of faith, periods of painful spiritual barrenness and a life devoted entirely to love and to the Church. She felt within herself the music of holiness and she let it resound in her heart until it made her whole life an offering of love. Her “little way” or “way of love” would unify her life. She sums up her graced philosophy in this way: “To live in love is to live Your life, glorious King….[It] is to look upon the Cross as a treasure….[It] is to sail tirelessly, sowing peace and happiness into all hearts….” Enjoy your time with Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and be prepared to be surprised as you journey with one of the most beloved spiritual figures of our time.
