Sinopsis

Thérèse Martin wanted to accomplish the most heroic deeds&rdquo, for Christ, she wanted to be a saint, a prophet, a martyr, a Doctor of the Church, a missionary.á&ldquo,I would be a light unto souls, I would travel to every land to preach Your name, O my Beloved, she wrote.áI would spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth, even to the most distant isles.&rdquo,In time,áThérèse would achieve all of those things, despite the fact that she died at the age of twenty-four after spending nine years as a cloistered Carmelite nun. The autobiography that was published after her death,áStory of a Soul, propelled her to international renown, making her one of the most popular saints of modern times. Charming in its childlike simplicity, yet full of profound (and hard-won) wisdom,áStory of a Souláfound millions of readers, inspiring many to follow her little way of detachment, sacrifice, and joy.áToday, the Church honors her not only as a saint, but as a patron of missionaries and a Doctor of the Church (one of the Church&rsquo,s greatest teachers).Little Lessons from St.áThérèse of Lisieuxápresents brief excerpts fromáStory of a Souláasáa way of introducing those unfamiliar with Thérèse to some of the essential themes of her spirituality. The words of St. Thérèse áare accompanied by theáartwork of award-winning watercolorist Jeanine Crowe, a wonderful aid toáprayerful meditation on the words and wisdom of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.Little Lessons from St.áThérèse of Lisieuxáincludes twenty-one selections from the words ofáSt. Thérèse, twenty artworks, and ten questions for reflection and discussion.
