Living the Little Way: Six Keys to the Spirituality of St. Thérèse

St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face is one of the most beloved saints in the history of the Church, yet the depth of her spirituality is often misunderstood. Living the Little Way: Six Keys to the Spirituality of St. Thérèse offers a fresh and penetrating exploration of the “Little Flower,” uncovering dimensions of her life and teaching that remain largely overlooked. Drawing from St. Thérèse’s own writings, the testimonies of those who knew her, and the wisdom of the Church, Fr. Joseph Spence, FFm, presents six keys that unlock the heart of her spiritual doctrine: her devotion to the Holy Face, her understanding of Christ as Spouse, her profound love for the Blessed Virgin Mary, her hidden fraternal charity, the true meaning of the “Little Way,” and the mystery of her Passion and death. Written in light of recent Church recognition, including Pope Francis’s apostolic exhortation C’est la confiance and UNESCO’s recognition of Thérèse as a World Heritage Person, this work reveals why her “science of love” speaks with renewed power to the modern world.
