Even though she is a Doctor of the Church,
St. Thérèse of Lisieux is more well-known for being the “little flower”
of Jesus. Through her “little way,” she has inspired many Catholics to
love God simply, devoutly, and with great love. St. Thérèse believed
that no act of faith is too small for God. Loving God in this way
wasn’t always easy for St. Thérèse, but even through her suffering and
death at age twenty-four she tried to love God with all her heart.
Author John Cleary uses passages from "Story of a Soul," the autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux to inspire us to embrace our own smallness this Advent and Christmas.
