The Story of a Soul (L'Histoire D'Une AME): The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux by Thérèse de Lisieux, Thérèse de Lisieux

2.0

---

True story about a nun who was beautified. Her whole life she wanted to give her life to Christ, but she wasnt' allowed to do anything. As a nun she always had to be obedient and ask permission to do anything. She learned that the only way she could possibly make a mark on anything was to make little sacrifices. She took the worst food, she took the blame for everything, she put herself last in everything, and she wrote in her journal, which is where this book comes from.

Her memory reminds us that we don't have to do anything great to be remembered.

Sad little story.
