Everything Is Grace
The Life and Way of Therese of Lisieux
Joseph F. Schmidt, FSC
Therese of Lisieux has been called the greatest saint of modern times, but seom view her spirituality as sentimental and syrupy. Joseph F. Schmidt, FSC, dispels that notion by contending that Therese's "little way" is really the gospel message message - a message that can best be understood in the context of her life. Schmidt does a masterful job of weaving together biographical details with Therese's profound insights on God's love and mercy. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants an introduction to Therese's spirituality as well as for those who desire a deeper appreciation of her "little way" - a way that continues to speak to Catholics today.
Includes photographs of Therese as a young girl and throughout her life.
"It is rare to read seomthing that gives us a new insights into St Therese of Lisieux. Brother Joseph Schmidt has managed to do so in a powerful way in this new work, which brings together very beautifully her central idea that "everything is grace." Disciples of St. Therese will enjoy and profit from it.
-Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel , CFR, speaker and author, The Virtue Driven Life

Profile
Born to a middle-class French family. Her father, Louis, was a watchmaker, her mother, who died of cancer when Therese was 4, was a lace maker, and both have been declared Venerable by the Church. Cured from an illness at age eight when a statue of the Blessed Virgin smiled at her. Carmelite nun at age 15. Defined her path to God and holiness as "The Little Way," which consisted of love and trust in God. At the direction of her spiritual director, and against her wishes, she dictated her famed autobiography Story of a Soul. Many miracles attributed to her. Declared a Doctor of the Church in 1997 by Pope John Paul II.
"For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy." - Saint Therese of Lisieux
