A delightful little book filled with teachings of St. Therese on union with God's will and finding joy in all of the suffering of life.

Laid out in the form of a novena, with 3 little meditations a day over 9 days. This book is a reprint of a classic from the 1950's. Definitely it is food for thought. Therese was wise beyond her years.

Ora Pro Nobis!!

Incredible novena. With a smile, St. Therese accepted everything that the Lord willed, knowing it could all be used to conform her to Christ. She bore witness to charity in a miraculous way.

Great novena. I've learned a lot from the commentary between the prayers.

This was hard to read at first, but I will definitely read this one again. St. Therese is forever a beautiful soul who can teach me how to offer my little sufferings to Jesus. I already have a tracker set up in my bullet journal to pray another novena.

October - this novena was prayed again for a friend. “When we yield to discouragement or despair, it is usually because we think too much about the past and the future.” St. Therese of the Child Jesus

I read this in junior high and I still think about it to this day. It absolutely changed my life. This little book completely reframed my attitude towards suffering and set me on a journey to find joy in every aspect of my life. I could not recommend more.
