Saint Thérèse of Lisieux - Her Family, Her God, Her Message
by: Fr. Bernard Bro
"The greatest saint of modern times" said Pope Pius X. In 1997, Pope John Paul II declared Thérèse a Doctor of the Church, citing the timeliness of her doctrine and the wisdom and practicality with which she grasped the Gospel message. The Centenary of her death, 1897-1997, was celebrated all over the globe. Why is Thérèse so universally loved, invoked and imitated?
Fr. Bernard Bro sets forth those aspects of her life, personality, and writing that mark Thérèse as one of the truly great exponents of Catholic doctrine. What she offers in her life and in her writing, he claims, is "one of the most certain and simplest evangelical shortcuts ever proposed". The life, words, and texts of Thérèse are of an astonishing freshness, accuracy, immediacy, strength, and genius. Illustrated with many photos.
