St. Therese $13.95 Story of a Soul - The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux translated by John Clarke, OCD 300 pp. paperback Includes index and eight pages of photos. $29.95 The Intimate Life of Saint Therese - Portrayed by Those Who Knew Her by Fr. Albert H. Dolan, O. Carm. 400 pp. paperback This book is Carmelite Father Albert Dolan’s unique collection of eight monographs, each of which deals with the temporal spiritual journey of our chosen vessel of grace, either as the saint saw herself in the eyes of God, or as she was intimately known by her parents, four sibling sisters, fellow religious, childhood friends and others whose lives she touched after her death. One might call this redolent nosegay of inspirational testimonies an anthology in the Greek sense of that word, for anthos literally means a “gathering of flowers”. In order to compose his octave of devotion, Father Dolan traveled to France in 1924, to Normandy’s Alençon where Saint Therese was born, to her family home Les Buissonnets in Lisieux, to the Carmel of Lisieux, and to other French towns. Then he went to Rome where he and Pope Pius XI had a mutually productive discussion of his apostolate to make the “Little Way” of the Little Flower better known in homes and monasteries in America. At the Carmelite convent, he was blessed by priceless interviews with Saint Therese’s three sisters (who were nuns there) and one of her teachers. At Caen, he visited a fourth sister who had joined the Visitation order. One third of this book is dedicated to these precious recollections gathered from her living siblings. In fact, “Book Five” of the monographs is completely devoted to the Little Flower’s saintly mother Zelie who died when Therese was only four years old. $13.95 St. Therese of Lisieux - Her Last Conversations translated by John Clarke, OCD 352 pp. paperback Includes general and biblical index and twelve photos. $17.95 The Letters of St. Therese of Lisieux Vol. I translated from the critical edition by John Clarke, OCD 700 pp. paperback A wonderful way to get a more intimate knowledge of the Saint’s life and “Little Way”. $17.95 The Letters of St. Therese of Lisieux Vol. II translated from the critical edition by John Clarke, OCD 688 pp. paperback A wonderful way to get a more intimate knowledge of the Saint’s life and “Little Way”. $13.95 The Poetry of St. Therese of Lisieux translated by Donald Kinney, OCD 352 pp. paperback Here for the first time in English is the complete collection of St. Therese’s poetry faithfully translated from the French critical edition. $10.95 The Prayers of St. Therese of Lisieux translated by Aletheia Kane, OCD 108 pp. paperback Countless spontaneous prayers are found throughout St. Therese’s autobiography, letters, poetry and plays.

Zélie married at 27, bore 9 children, ran a home business and did a superb job of raising 5 daughters, including “the greatest saint of modern times.” (St. Pius X) She died of breast cancer at 45, but her greatness was recognized by her family and her friends and is now known to the world. Zélie suffered many of the ordinary burdens of life, yet she was happy, loved her children “madly” and enjoyed them immensely. This book was written by her daughter Céline who had access to Zélie’s letters and to the reminiscences of her older sisters in the Carmel of Lisieux.

Looking at Zélie’s picture, one can see her incredible character, integrity, goodness, constancy and love. $8.95 The Father of the Little Flower by Celine Martin 153 pp. paperback Louis Martin was the pattern of fatherhood on which St. Therese built her now famous “Little Way of Spiritual Childhood.” Louis was declared venerable by the Church in 1994, along with his wife Zélie, because of his heroic virtue.

She describes his beautiful death, as well as a sign received by Therese indicating that their father’s soul had gone straight to Heaven. Letters written by Louis give additional insights into his character. Louis Martin’s daughters considered themselves highly blessed to have had so good a father.
