The ''Little Way'' of Spiritual Childhood: According to the Life and Writings of Saint Thérèse de l’Enfant Jésus

St. Thérèse’s Way of Trust and Love

'Here, then, is a way which, without giving to everyone assurance of reaching the heights to which God has led Thérèse, is not only possible but easy for all. As St Augustine remarks, not everyone can preach and perform great works, but who is there that cannot pray, humble himself, and love?' — Pope Pius XI.

Written in 1923, just twenty-six years after St. Thérèse’s death, The “Little Way” of Spiritual Childhood captures the excitement of the church's and eventually the world’s discovery of the “Little Way.” This spirituality that anyone can practice is founded in the Gospel’s call to “abandon oneself like a child in the arms of the Good Lord.” 

Learn the “Little Way” as taught by St. Thérèse of Lisieux:

•Embrace humility as the “loved sight of our lowliness.”

•Live the spirit of poverty by looking to God for all

things.

•Trust in God’s Mercy and Justice.

•Love in the “Little Way.”

•Practice Holy Abandonment to God’s Will.

Includes extensive quotations from The Story of a Soul, her letters, and her poetry, as well as the Act of Oblation of Myself as a Victim of Holocaust to Merciful Love.
