Saint Therese Of Lisieux

$19.93

St. Therese of Lisieux is one of our best loved saints. Discalced Carmelite mystic, Doctor of the Church, her spirituality is at once simple and sublime.
Sister Teresa explores her life, devotions, teaching, and her posthumous mission. She shows how a modern saint achieved so perfect a likeness to Christ in her own life, how the unchanging standards of our Savior can be adapted in every way to the needs and problems of this present age. She presents St. Therese of Lisieux as a sure spiritual companion and guide.
Here we meet St. Therese of Lisieux in the light of the Gospels, in the light of the Church’s teaching concerning her virtues and her universal mission, and against a background of genuine Carmelite tradition and the teaching of St. John of the Cross.

St. Therese of Lisieux was canonized in 1925 by Pope Pius XI, was declared patroness of foreign missions with St. Francis Xavier in 1927, and in 1944 was declared protectoress of France with St. Joan of Arc by Pope Pius XII.
