基本説明
"L'Histoire d'une Âme, the spiritual autobiography of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, is a poignant and luminous account of a young 19th-century French Carmelite nun. This intimate account, written on the orders of her superiors, traces the extraordinary spiritual journey of a simple, loving soul.
Born Marie-Françoise-Thérèse Martin in 1873, Thérèse entered the Carmelite convent at Lisieux at the tender age of 15, driven by an ardent love for God. Through the pages of her autobiography, she reveals her "little way" to holiness, a revolutionary approach to the spiritual life based on absolute trust in God's merciful love.
Thérèse shares her mystical experiences, inner struggles and moments of grace with disarming sincerity. She describes her life in Carmel, her relationships with her sisters in religion, and her profound understanding of the Gospel. Her story culminates in her discovery of her vocation: to be "love at the heart of the Church".
This book fits perfectly into Amazon's "Spiritual biographies", "Mystical literature" and "Lives of saints" categories. It offers readers a fascinating insight into the soul of a young woman whose life, though short and seemingly ordinary, had a profound impact on the Catholic Church.
The book reveals how Thérèse, through her contemplative life, developed a spirituality accessible to all, based on small, everyday acts of love. Her "little way" inspired millions of people around the world, making her one of the most popular saints of modern times.
"The Story of a Soul" remains a classic of spiritual literature, offering hope and inspiration to all who seek to deepen their relationship with God in simplicity and love.
