Heart Of Love
St. Therese Of Lisieux
Item Number: 2306
Eugene McCaffrey, OCD
Written to celebrate her elevation to a Doctor of the Church, this book captures the beauty and simplicity of the message and life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. Written by a Carmelite priest who is an expert on the Little Flower, this is an inspirational and devotional little book that draws on her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, and brings together the main elements of her Little Way--prayer, gospel simplicity, hope, mercy, trust, love. It contains a wide selection of quotations from her writings, especially her prayers and poems. With the striking color icon of St. Thérèse on the cover, this is a wonderful book of reflection and meditation on the eternal message of forgiveness and love, which is the very heart of the message of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

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
