About the Book
About the Author
Thérèse of Lisieux (1873–1897), or Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, born Marie-Françoise-Thérèse Martin, was a French Carmelite nun. She is also known as The Little Flower of Jesus. She felt an early call to religious life, and overcoming various obstacles, in 1888 at the early age of 15, became a nun and joined two of her older sisters in the cloistered Carmelite community of Lisieux, Normandy. After nine years as a Carmelite religious, having fulfilled various offices such as sacristan and assistant to the novice mistress, and having spent the last eighteen months in Carmel in a night of faith, she died of tuberculosis at the age of 24. The impact of her posthumous publications, including her memoir The Story of a Soul, was great, and she rapidly became one of the most popular saints of the twentieth century. Thérèse lived a hidden life and wanted to be unknown, yet became popular after her death through her spiritual autobiography - she left also letters, poems, religious plays, prayers, and her last conversations were recorded by her sisters. Paintings and photographs – mostly the work of her sister Céline – further led to her being recognised by millions of men and women. According to one of her biographers, Guy Gaucher, after her death, Thérèse fell victim to an excess of sentimental devotion which betrayed her. She was victim also to her language, which was that of the late nineteenth century and flowed from the religiosity of her age. Thérèse herself said on her death-bed, I only love simplicity. I have a horror of pretence, and she spoke out against some of the Lives of saints written in her day, We should not say improbable things, or things we do not know. We must see their real, and not their imagined lives. The depth of her spirituality, of which she said, my way is all confidence and love, has inspired many believers. In the face of her littleness and nothingness, she trusted in God to be her sanctity. She wanted to go to heaven by an entirely new little way. I wanted to find an elevator that would raise me to Jesus. The elevator, she wrote, would be the arms of Jesus lifting her in all her littleness.
