Course Description:
More than a century ago, St. Thérèse lived the simple and hidden life of a Carmelite nun in the small town of Lisieux, eighty miles from Paris. She died from tuberculosis when she was only twenty-four. Despite her short life, she is one of the most well-known and beloved saints of our time. Her spirituality of the "little way" of confidence and love led to her canonization in 1925, just twenty-eight years after her death. In 1997, Pope Saint John Paul II proclaimed her a Doctor of the Universal Church, the only one of his pontificate. Thérèse's autobiography, Story of a Soul, is a spiritual classic and a "must read" for every Catholic seeking to grow in his or her relationship with Jesus Christ.
