St. Benedict and St. Thérèse by Dwight Longenecker Pdf

St. Benedict and St. Therese of Lisieux stand as two of the monumental figures in the history of the Western Church. Their impact on Christian thought cannot be overestimated, yet never before have they been viewed as spiritual father and daughter. From his "little rule" to her "little way," these two great saints teach us to find ourselves in the ordinary. The path of holiness lies open for every Christian, for the course leads through the real demands and details of everyday life. As both Benedict and Therese understood so well, the family, the school, the parish, and the workplace are all schools of the Lord's service. By using St. Therese's writings to illustrate St. Benedict's Rule, Dwight Longenecker shows how holiness is always the result of a daily reliance on Gods' grace. - Back cover.

Listen, My Son (the opening words of Benedict's Rule) breaks the Rule into small daily portions and provides commentary specifically geared to help men be better husbands and parents.

The Way of Trust and Love by Jacques Philippe Pdf

St. Thérèse of Lisieux sought a new way to Heaven: “a little way that is quite straight, quite short: a completely new little way.” Blessed with personal limitations that might have discouraged another, Thérèse believed God would not have given her a desire for holiness if He did not intend for her to achieve it. She learned to humbly accept herself as she was and trust completely in God’s love. First given as a retreat by renowned author Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love navigates excerpts of St. Thérèse’s writings phrase by phrase, extracting powerful, resonating insights. To Thérèse, the journey seemed “little” as she traveled it. A hundred and fifteen years after her death, the message of the young saint and Doctor of the Church has traveled around the world inspiring millions. With this newly translated study of her spirituality, many today will rediscover—or find for the first time—the relevance of “the little way,” in all seasons of life. Fr. Jacques Philippe is well-known for his books on prayer and spirituality. A member of the Community of the Beatitudes, he regularly preaches retreats in France and abroad. He also spends much of his time giving spiritual direction and working for the development of the Community in Asia and Oceania where he travels frequently. View Fr.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen's St. Therese by Fulton J. Sheen Pdf

This is not so much the story of a soul, but the story of a love, the treasured love the Servant of God Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen had for his dear St. Therese of Lisieux, his "Little Flower". Because of this intimacy and the unfathomable admiration he had for her, what lies between these pages is nothing short of remarkable, not to mention utterly captivating. Readers will find themselves moved in various ways, many of them unexpected. They will cry penitential tears, quake with happy laughter, shake their heads in disbelief, and experience an unquenchable yearning to imitate and experience the sort of closeness that both Sheen and Therese had with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The archbishop helps us realize just why St. Therese really is the "greatest saint of modern times," and is among the greatest theologians the Church has ever produced. Using her example, he also explains the power of intercessory prayer, the necessity of virtue, how to put our suffering to good use, how to fight Satan's influence, and how to grow in our relationship with God and our love for one another. In short, by reading this book, you will learn how to be a saint from a saint. Dive into this story of a love and see for yourself how it will develop the story of a soul...your own.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux by D. C. Margaret Pdf

St Thérèse of Lisieux is one of our best loved saints. Discalced Carmelite mystic, Doctor of the Church, popularly acclaimed as 'the Little Flower', her spirituality is at once simple and sublime - it appeals to Christians at all stages of the spiritual journey. In this classic account of St Thérèse's spiritual teaching - "the little way of spiritual childhood" - Sister Teresa Margaret, D.C. explores with us her life, her devotions, her teaching and her posthumous mission. She demonstrates how readily adaptable is this simple yet far from easy "ever-ancient, ever-new' method of going to God, by 'doing the tiniest things right and doing it for love" Sister Teresa shows us how a modern saint achieved so perfect a likeness to Christ in her own life, how the unchanging standards of our Saviour can be adapted in every way to the needs and problems of this present age - a consolation and encouragement for us all. She presents to us St Thérèse as a sure spiritual companion and guide. Here we meet St Thérèse in the light of the Gospels, in the light of the Church's teaching concerning her virtues and her universal mission, and against a background of genuine Carmelite tradition and the teaching of St John of the Cross. St Thérèse of Lisieux was canonized in 1925 by Pope Pius XI, was declared patroness of foreign missions with St Francis Xavier in 1927, and in 1944 was declared protectoress of France with St Joan of Arc by Pope Pius XII. St Thérèse was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II in 1997.
