Wisdom from St. Thérèse’s father

 
 
 

My little Queen entered Carmel yesterday. God alone could have asked such a sacrifice, but he is helping me so powerfully that in the midst of my tears my heart is overflowing with joy.

—St. Louis Martin

quoted in the book, St. Thérèse of Lisieux: Story of a Life

BELOVED DAUGHTER

Written by a foremost expert on the life of the beloved St. Thérèse of Lisieux, this work is widely considered as the most definitive and popular presentation of her life. Based on Thérèse’s famous notebooks, letters, poems, plays, and prayers, Story of a Life reveals her true face: the Thérèse who detested “old wives” devotions; the Thérèse who longed passionately to be priest, martyr, and apostle—and could still fall asleep over her prayers in chapel.
