St. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of Lisieux sought a new way to Heaven: \u201ca little way that is quite straight, quite short: a completely new little way.\u201d Blessed with personal limitations that might have discouraged another, Th\u00e9r\u00e8se believed God would not have given her a desire for holiness if He did not intend for her to achieve it. She learned to humbly accept herself as she was and trust completely in God\u2019s love.<\/p>\n
First given as a retreat by renowned author Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love navigates excerpts of St. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se\u2019s writings phrase by phrase, extracting powerful, resonating insights. To Th\u00e9r\u00e8se, the journey seemed \u201clittle\u201d as she traveled it. A hundred and fifteen years after her death, the message of the young saint and Doctor of the Church has traveled around the world inspiring millions. With this newly translated study of her spirituality, many today will rediscover\u2014or find for the first time\u2014the relevance of \u201cthe little way,\u201d in all seasons of life.<\/p>\n
