The Little Catechism of the Act of Oblation of St. Therese of the Child Jesus
The Oblation to Merciful Love, by St. Therese of Lisieux (the "Little Flower") has changed my life, and my spirituality, forever. She is a Doctor of the Church who has transformed the way we view God's merciful love and his just goodness. For anyone wishing to truly understand the spirituality of the Little Flower, this is--besides Therese's own unedited autobiography--one of the best (affirmed by ecclesiastical authority with the seals of Nihil Obstat, and Imprimatur) distillations of her "Little Way" of trust and love. It may be the only hope I have of becoming a saint, and I will cling to it--hopefully--forever. St. Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face, pray for us!
