If you want to grow in love of God, this book is a must.” Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR Spiritual Passages “With felicity and wisdom, this retreat introduces St. Thérèse free of sentimentalism and obscurantism.” Fr. George W. Rutler A Crisis of Saints “Whoever reads this book attentively and prayerfully will grow in the love of God and even desire to be a saint.” Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J. Homiletic and Pastoral Review “Devotees of St. Thérèse will be delighted with this book, but there is something in it for all who seek holiness, the perfection of love.” Fr. Kilian Healy, O.Carm. Awakening Your Soul to the Presence of God “Fr. d’Elbée’s retreat, based on St. Thérèse’s ‘little way,’ draws us into the immensity of that ‘little way.’ Sophia Institute Press has done us all a great service in bringing this work back into print.” Thomas Howard Splendor in the Ordinary “May this ‘personal retreat’ based on the teachings of the little nun of Lisieux be for those who use it an occasion of grace not only to enlighten their minds, but to elevate their souls to approach the sublime destiny that the ‘little way’ shows to all.” Most Rev. Fabian Bruskewitz Bishop of Lincoln

That's how she became student body president. Varsity soccer star. And it's how she'll get into Stanford. But she's never had a boyfriend. In fact, she's a disaster at romance, a clumsy, stammering humiliation magnet whose botched attempts at flirting have become legendary with her friends. So when the hottest human specimen to have ever lived walks into her life one day, Desi finds guidance in the Korean dramas her father has been obsessively watching for years—where the hapless heroine always seems to end up in the arms of her true love by episode ten.

This book is a collection, in spoken language of most of the retreats preached in all media by this former general superior of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart, Father d'Elbee. The author believes that what is lacking as to the souls in this world is realizing how much God loves them and wishes them happiness. Echoing the doctrine of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, he draws upon Scripture, and above all the Gospel those truths which dilate the hearts and lead them to Him who is Love.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux sought a new way to Heaven: ¿a little way that is quite straight, quite short: a completely new little way.¿ Blessed with personal limitations that might have discouraged another, Thérèse believed God would not have given her a desire for holiness if He did not intend for her to achieve it. She learned to humbly accept herself as she was and trust completely in God¿s love. First given as a retreat by renowned author Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love navigates excerpts of St. Thérèse¿s writings phrase by phrase, extracting powerful, resonating insights. To Thérèse, the journey seemed ¿little¿ as she traveled it. A hundred and fifteen years after her death, the message of the young saint and Doctor of the Church has traveled around the world inspiring millions. With this newly translated study of her spirituality, many today will rediscover¿or find for the first time¿the relevance of ¿the little way,¿ in all seasons of life. Fr. Jacques Philippe is well-known for his books on prayer and spirituality. A member of the Community of the Beatitudes, he regularly preaches retreats in France and abroad. He also spends much of his time giving spiritual direction and working for the development of the Community in Asia and Oceania where he travels frequently.
