In this treasury of reflections and prayers, readers will come to know why St. Thérèse of Lisieux is considered the greatest saint of modern times--and why she is also recognized as a doctor of the church.

Spiritual Treasures from St. Therese of Lisieux presents excerpts from her writings on the major themes of her spirituality to help readers understand her "little way" of doing everything with great love. In this book, originally published as The Prayers and Meditations of Therese of Lisieux, the chapters focus on topics such as loving God, loving others, embracing suffering, and difficulties in prayer. Each chapter concludes with a reflection and a prayer.

Therese's inspiration and wisdom in these selections will lead readers to love God more intensely as they deepen their understanding of the gift of grace he offers us each day.
