Produktbeschreibung
Born Marie Françoise-Therese Martin, Saint Therese of Lisieux in her twenty-four short years, through her simple and practical approach to spiritual life, left one of the most lasting impressions upon the Catholic world. In the view of Pope Saint Pius X, she was the greatest saint of modern times, and along with Saint Francis of Assisi, remains to this day as one of the popular saints in the history of the church. Contained here is her autobiography, in the words of Francis Cardinal Bourne, "It is the old story of simplicity in God's service, of the perfect accomplishment of small recurring duties, of trustful confidence in Him who made and has redeemed and sanctified us. Humility, self-effacement, obedience, hiddenness, unfaltering charity, with all the self-control and constant effort that they imply, are written on every page of the history of this little Saint. And, as we turn its pages, the lesson is borne in upon our souls that there is no surer nor safer way of pleasing Our Father Who is in Heaven than by remaining ever as little children in His sight." This edition of "The Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux" is printed on a premium acid-free paper.

Autorenporträt
Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, born on January 2, 1873, in Alençon, France, entered the Carmelite convent at Lisieux at just 15 years old. Known as "The Little Flower," Thérèse developed her "Little Way" of spiritual childhood, emphasizing love, humility, and trust in God. Her simple, yet profound spirituality made her one of the most beloved saints in the Catholic Church.Thérèse's autobiographical work, The Story of a Soul, was published posthumously and quickly gained widespread acclaim for its relatable, heartfelt approach to faith. She believed that small acts of love and sacrifice could achieve holiness, a message that resonated deeply with readers worldwide. Her writings promoted a path to sanctity accessible to all, contributing to her widespread veneration.In 1925, Thérèse was canonized by Pope Pius XI, and in 1997, she was declared a Doctor of the Church, an honor bestowed on only a few saints. Her relics have traveled globally, drawing millions of pilgrims and inspiring devotion across cultures. Thérèse's influence endures, as she remains a symbol of hope, love, and humility in the Catholic faith.
