My Vocation Is Love: Therese of Lisieux

by Jean Lafrance

Find your way to total trust in God with Saint Th�r�se of Lisieux as your guide. This spiritual biography includes rich commentary on Th�r�se's reflections and offers glimpses into her interior life of contemplation and prayer. Lafrance captures Th�r�se's growth--from accepting her own powerlessness, to placing complete confidence in God, to experiencing God's response of merciful love. Beatified, canonized, and declared Doctor of the Church, Saint Th�r�se is a source of inspiration for believers to place unwavering trust in God.

DNF’d. This was meh. Made it about a quarter of the way through before I moved on. St. Therese of Lisieux is wonderful as always, but Jean Lefrance’s style was not a good fit for me.

I have been reading a lot of Therese in the past couple months & she is insane. But in the most simple way. This book brought light to love being the center of all things, that even when we don’t desire it we must ask for the grace.

Inexplicable como por medio de Santa Teresita Dios hace ver su amor y su misericordia.
La confianza lleva al amor, el amor a hacer sacrificios hechos por amor, y en esa esperanza y confianza en Dios, el vendrá a llevarnos a él. Ya que por nuestras propias fuerzas es imposible.
“Hacerse pequeño”

A beautiful and yet simple way to live life - in true Theresian spirituality. Simple however does not mean easy. We are all called to different vocations in life - and we are all called to Love.

Was a very good book but seemed to drag in toward the end. I loved learning more about St Therese and her abandonment to Christ’s love.
