St Thérèse of Lisieux Libri

Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-97, feast day, October 1) is the latest and among youngest of the thirty-three "Doctors of the Church." This devotional book is made up of her sayings from her many writings (Story of a Soul, her poetry, and her letters), approximately one to two sentences for each day of the year. Each month is introduced by a quote from Scripture (NRSV). The English text was translated by the late Paulist priest, Francis Broome, whose brief foreword is also included, as are end-notes and a table of contents. This is the perfect pocket/purse-sized gift-book for those who have a devotion to St. Therese or to those who have yet to be introduced to her infectious "Little Way."

En 1898, paraissait un petit ouvrage, voué à une diffusion confidentielle, et écrit par une carmélite morte un an plus tôt, à l'âge de 24 ans. Aujourd'hui, la célèbre Histoire d'une âme (ou Manuscrits autobiographiques), traduite en de nombreuses langues, a été diffusée à des millions d'exemplaires. Et le pape saint Pie X n'hésitait pas à appeler Thérèse de Lisieux " la plus grande sainte des temps modernes ".
