Complete Spiritual Doctrine of St. Therese of Lisieux by Fr. François Jamart Pdf

Over a century ago, there lived a Carmelite nun, Thérèse of Lisieux. Although she was young and seemed to have no authority, she taught “a Little Way very straight and short” which would lead people to perfection. Others had declared that sanctity was hard to attain, but she said that it was easy. Thérèse maintained that in order to become holy, it was not necessary to engage in manifold practices, to perform rigorous penances, or to receive extraordinary graces. What was needed was simply that we acknowledge our “nothingness” and approach God with love and confidence. “Sanctity,” she proclaimed, “is an interior disposition which makes us humble and little in God’s arms, conscious of our weakness and trusting even to audacity in the goodness of our Father.” Thérèse did not reveal new truths, nor did she teach new means for attaining perfection. Her doctrine was not a revelation of a new kind of sanctity, but a new way of revealing sanctity to us. What she teaches flows from the knowledge of God as He is revealed in the Gospel; she invites us to return to evangelical simplicity. The Church has endorsed her doctrine at the highest level: in 1999, Pope John Paul II declared her a Doctor of the Church. In the Complete Spiritual Doctrine of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, he presents her teachings in their original beauty, simplicity, and practicality. According to the judgment of the Carmelite nuns of Lisieux, this work “represents the pure doctrine of Thérèse—without deviation.” Since this book first appeared in French in 1958 and in English in 1961, it has established itself as a classic. Although many fine studies on St. Thérèse have appeared in more recent years, the Complete Spiritual Doctrine of St. Thérèse of Lisieux is still an indispensable guide to the Little Way.

The Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux by Thérèse Martinof Lisieux,Francis Alphonsus Bourne Pdf

This book is a memoir of Thérèse of Lisieux, a French Catholic Discalced Carmelite nun. Her blood sisters were also nuns and they insisted she should write a memoir two years before her death at the age of 24. The book contains her childhood memories from the tragedy of the loss of her mother and her childhood nervous fits to finding peace in the convent. To a large extent the book deals with her spiritual search and describes her thoughts, emotions and beliefs she developed during her service. In the last eighteen month of her life, Therese fell into a crisis of belief, when she was tormented by the doubts, which he had to overcome. Suffering a severe form of tuberculosis, Therese perceived this illness as a one of her last examinations of faith and transformed her pain and suffering into the feeling of happiness based on her faith in salvation. This memoir became a very influential book on spirituality, which made Therese famous beyond the borders of France and remains an important piece of spiritual literature today.

St. Therese of Lisieux Spouse and Victim by Cliff Ermatinger Pdf

On Christmas Eve, 1886, a young girl, Thrse Martin, received special grace. Although it was the littleness of the Christ Child that reached out to this girl and taught her to give up the defects of childhood, the grace was by no means small. Her long bout with scruples and empty fears was not completely over, yet in her own words, "since that night I have never been defeated in any combat, but rather walked from victory to victory." Such was her experience of God's mercy that she decided then and there to give her life to the mission of converting sinners. This book by Cliff Ermatinger presents us with deep theological insights into the meaning of the seemingly simple life and journey of St. Thrse of Lisieux.This little book treats of a love story that began on January 4, 1873, the day of Therese's baptism. On that day God began to court the soul of this little girl who would remain just that a little girl. She would also learn to correspond with her baptismal grace, thus maturing into a strong-willed woman and ultimately into the faithful bride of her divine Spouse.Her formal relationship with Christ and her new insertion into his life began fittingly on Christmas. Also fittingly, her relationship with him on earth ended on Calvary. Tracing St. Thrse of Lisieux's life, we discover that she begins with the life of grace, going from child of God to child in the Son. She then advances to a theological existence; from theological existence to union; and from union to its culmination in espousals with Christ: the ordinary terminus of the spiritual life to which everyone is called. Having arrived at such union with the divine Spouse, Thrse was next inducted into the victimhood of Christ. The author then examines the relation between the type of victimhood St. Thrse experienced and the type of sin she was expiating: atheism.

Story of a Soul by Thérèse Of Lisieux Pdf

"Story of a Soul" is the autobiography of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, a French Carmelite known for her great spirituality and her simplicity in her relationship with God. Written by Thérèse herself, the work was published after her death in 1897 at the age of 24. The autobiography details Thérèse's life from childhood to her life in Carmel, offering insight into her inner search and spiritual doctrine, now known as the "Little Way." The story is divided into three main parts, corresponding to the manuscripts that Thérèse wrote at the request of her superiors. Childhood and youth: Thérèse describes her family, her pious but often sickly childhood, and her intense desire to devote herself to God from an early age. She recounts several significant events, such as her "conversion" at the age of 14, which strengthened her determination to pursue religious life. Vocation and life in Carmel: Thérèse recounts her entry into the Carmel of Lisieux at the age of 15, after overcoming many obstacles, including a trip to Rome to obtain permission from the Pope. She describes her struggle to adapt to monastic life, her spiritual challenges, and how she found her way by devoting herself to love, doing small actions with great love. The "Little Way": The most influential part of his autobiography explains his "little way" of spirituality, which involves finding holiness in ordinary actions and offering these small actions to God in love. Thérèse emphasizes the importance of trust and abandonment to God, rather than great deeds or mortifications. The impact of "Story of a Soul" has been immense, inspiring millions of people around the world. Thérèse was canonized in 1925, and her message of simplicity and love continues to be a source of inspiration for the faithful from all walks of life. His "little way" has been recognized as an accessible path of holiness, applicable to the daily life of everyone.

The Autobiography of Thérèse of Lisieux by Thérèse of Lisieux Pdf

"Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them." — Saint Thérèse of Lisieux One of the greatest spiritual classics ever written, this influential autobiography has been translated into nearly every language, capturing hearts and minds around the world. Simply written in clear, enchanting prose, this memoir reveals the path to true inner peace, for "Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He cherishes simplicity." Born in France, young Thérèse Martin (1873–1897) entered the Carmel Convent of Lisieux at the age of fifteen. Also known as "the Little Flower," her autobiography, written at the request of her Carmelite Superiors in the last years of her life, includes poignant girlhood recollections and her teachings of "the little way of childhood." The "little way," inspired by the Gospel, places love at the very center of every action we take. Traditional yet unique, delicate yet heroic, Thérèse taught a shining spirituality that could easily be adapted into everyday life. Her divine words of acceptance and love are universal, and have gently led many people — both within the Catholic Church and outside of Christianity — back to their faith. Saint Thérèse was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1925. In 1997, she was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II.
