The Way of Trust and Love

St. Thrse of Lisieux sought a new way to Heaven: a little way that is quite straight, quite short: a completely new little way. Blessed with personal limitations that might have discouraged another, Thrse believed God would not have given her a desire for holiness if He did not intend for her to achieve it. She learned to humbly accept herself as she was and trust completely in Gods love. First given as a retreat by renowned author Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love navigates excerpts of St. Thrses writings phrase by phrase, extracting powerful, resonating insights. To Thrse, the journey seemed little as she traveled it. A hundred and fifteen years after her death, the message of the young saint and Doctor of the Church has traveled around the world inspiring millions. With this newly translated study of her spirituality, many today will rediscoveror find for the first timethe relevance of the little way, in all seasons of life. Fr. Jacques Philippe is well-known for his books on prayer and spirituality. A member of the Community of the Beatitudes, he regularly preaches retreats in France and abroad. He also spends much of his time giving spiritual direction and working for the development of the Community in Asia and Oceania where he travels frequently.
