Title | Therese of Lisieux By Monica Furlong |
---|
Author | Furlong, Monica |
---|
Description | Saint Therese of Lisieux is one of the most beloved Catholic saints of this century. Even before she was canonized in 1925 she had become the object of an adoring cult: French soldiers carried her picture into the trenches in World War I and Pope Pius X declared he believed her the greatest saint of modern times. Her spiritual autobiography became an international best seller. Yet she was an unlikely heroine, a simple French girl who entered a Carmelite convent at 15 and died there at 24 after an outwardly uneventful life. This book is a wise, accessible, and sympathetic look into the life of an extraordinary woman. |
