"The Little Way of Lent: Meditations in the Spirit of St. Therese"

This is a Lenten Book for all of you who enjoy the writings and outlook of St. Therese. Father Gary Caster was inspired to write The Little Way of Lent: Meditations in the Spirit of St. Therese of Lisieux after reading her autobiography.

St. Therese transformed his experience of Lent from one of narrow concern over what to give up to one of joyful freedom to enter into the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. "What struck me," he says, "was her insistence on the way we do things for God and not the things we do for him. It wasn't about what I was offering; it was about why."

The meditations in this book all colored by St. Therese's Little Way of Spiritual Childhood will transform you, too, helping you focus not so much on what you have done to offend God , but on what he has done to redeem you.
