Description
Now back in print, this short biography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux by Dorothy Day expresses the surprising yet profound connection between Day -- the founder of the Catholic Worker movement who was praised by Pope Francis for her passion for justice and dedication to her faith -- and the beloved saint best known for her Little Way. Whether you are called to the active life like Day or a more hidden existence like Thérèse, you will discover that these paths have much in common and can lead show more you to a love that has the power to transform you in ways that are unexpected and consequential.Written originally for nonbelievers or those unaware of Thérèse, the book reflects how Day came to appreciate Thérèse's Little Way, not as an abstract concept, but as a spirituality that she had already been living. Day's life, like Thérèse's, was filled with all the humble, self-effacing jobs that were a part of this work. She found in Thérèse a kindred spirit, one who saw these simple hidden tasks as the way to heaven. show lessTags
