Saint Therese’s Little Way

When Saint Therese aka ‘the little flower’ felt shattered by her tormenting doubts, “God lowered Himself to me, and instructed me secretly in the things of His love.” What God showed to her she called the Little Way, which she defined as “the way of trust and absolute surrender.” It is “to expect everything from God as a little child expects everything from its father.” For Therese, sanctity “consists in a disposition of heart which makes us humble and little in the arms of God.” “My way,” she writes, “is all confidence and love.”
