About two weeks ago I started reading "Story of a Soul." I was drawn to it, compelled you might say out of a desire to read something spiritual that is the inverse of what I normally read. In other words, I wanted to read about spiritual warfare but from someone vastly different than the likes of St. Michael, St. Joan, etc... So why not pick the "Little Flower"?
Low and behold, the Pope comes out today and suggests that we all read it!
"I would like to invite you to rediscover this little-great treasure, this luminous commentary on the Gospel fully lived," he recommended. "'Story of a Soul,' in fact, is a marvelous history of Love, recounted with such authenticity, simplicity and freshness, before which the reader cannot but be fascinated!"I guess if nothing else, I am reading the right things.
"But, what was this Love that filled Thérèse's whole life, from her childhood to her death?" he asked. "Dear friends, this Love has a Face, it has a Name, it is Jesus! The saint spoke continually of Jesus."
