The Collected Letters of St. Teresa of Avila, Volume 1      trans. Kieran Kavanaugh OCD

St. Teresa of Avila wrote candidly the story of both her life and her work as foundress in two books: the Life and the Foundations. Despite her openness in them, she wrote with the knowledge they would be read by her censors. Her letters, then, exhibit even more striking candor, offering many details that were not meant for the public. In these letters we walk with Teresa year by year, day by day -- even hour by hour sometimes. Her worries, her troubles and triumphs, her expressions of sadness and joy pervade these pages. Without question we have before us a rich collection, showing a heart magnanimously open to others, communicating with them on many levels, pouring itself out to family members and religious, to friends, theologians, advisors, and to the nobility and business people. Contains Letters from 1546 to 1577. Includes Introductions, Endnotes, Biographical Sketches and Index. [more details...]

Interior Castle - pb      Saint Teresa of Jesus

St. Teresa of Jesus, also known as St. Teresa of Avila, is one of the most popular Doctors of the Church. Her teaching on prayer has continued to inspire and guide Christians in their spiritual journeys for over four hundred years. In The Interior Castle St. Teresa describes the road by which she was led, well aware that the others may be led in a different way. In the heavenly Father’s house, there are many mansions; not only seven, and many paths lead to them. What gives the work such high value is, that it is the result of a most searching inquiry into the various phases whereby a soul is gradually transformed into the likeness of God Himself. Here St. Teresa is at her best. She takes nothing for granted, her own personal experiences are admitted only after having been fully investigated and found to be consistent one with the other, and conformable to the teaching of the Church and the words of Holy Scripture.

The Dark Night of the Soul      Saint John of the Cross

St. John takes us on a journey into ourselves, a journey of knowledge and self understanding, that encompasses our failings and imperfections. It shows us how in a place beyond words we can embrace sadness and grief, and seeking God, our lives will be turned around. He describes the “arid and dark night of contemplation” which leads us to “the knowledge of oneself and of one’s misery.” True knowledge of our self and of our condition shows how far we must go to find God, who our restless hearts incessantly seek. The Dark Night of the Soul describes how first the senses, and then the spirit undergo a series of purgation, which aids in bringing it closer to God, and eventually preparing it for union with Him. The individual soul seeks Jesus in a mystical marriage. For after the dark night, comes the joy of mystical union with God. [more details...]

NEW A Therese of Lisieux Prayer Book      Philippe Lefebvre

The relics of St Thérèse of Lisieux are to visit Britain for the first time, from 16 September to 15 October 2009. Before she died in 1897, Thérèse expressed the desire to work as a missionary, spreading the faith to distant parts of the world. Whilst her early death prevented the fulfilment of this ambition, over the last fifteen years her relics have travelled to many countries, inspiring thousands of pilgrims to pray in their presence. This booklet, which brings together some of the most profound prayers and texts by Saint Thérèse, as well as a variety of prayers to her or inspired by her, will help people prepare for this visit. It will lead readers to a better knowledge of her life and little way of spiritual childhood, and guide them on their way to God with one of the greatest and most approachable spiritual teachers ever. Although Thérèse never wrote a book on theology, she was declared a Doctor of the Church. Her teaching consists in her call to universal holiness, prayer, and evangelisation, as well as her deep sense of what it means to have a vocation. Her life serves as a model of charity, and, together with her sisters and parents, as an inspiration for families everywhere. [more details...]

The Story of a Soul - pb      Saint Therese of Lisieux

The Story of a Soul, better known to the English public as The Autobiography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, was first published in 1899. Today it ranks amongst the greatest Christian spiritual classics and it has been translated into practically every well-known language. Almost every pope since its publication has proposed St. Thérèse’s teaching to the faithful for their imitation—Pius XI declared her the greatest saint of our age and John Paul II made her a Doctor of the Church. The Story of a Soul possesses in some degree a characteristic common both to the Gospels and The Imitation of Christ. Men and women open the book, often quite casually, and are caught by the vivid clarity or simple profundity of some sentence in such a way that their lives are completely changed. The style of St. Thérèse is extremely simple and spontaneous, having a charm that is hard to describe, especially when she rises to poetic heights. The final chapter, written for her eldest sister Marie, is simply a childlike outpouring of her heart to Jesus Himself. This spiritual classic will speak gently to your heart. [more details...]

Therese's parents, Louis and Zelie Martin, lived a full life: they were business people, experienced joys and tragedies, including the loss of children, of a wife to cancer and the suffering of mental illness. They made mistakes, but lived a life deeply grounded in prayer, faith and a great love for the Church.

The Mother of the Little Flower: Zélie Martin (1831-1877)      Celine Martin (Sister Genevieve of the Holy Face)

Was St. Thérèse’s mother herself a saint? Zélie Martin and her husband Louis were declared Venerableby the Church in 1994 for their "Heroic Virtue," and the couple’s cause is now progressing toward Beatification. Zélie married at 27, bore 9 children, ran a home business and did a superb job of raising 5 daughters—including "the greatest saint of modern times." (St. Pius X). She died of breast cancer at 45, but her greatness was recognized by her family and her friends, and is now known to the world. Zélie suffered many of the ordinary burdens of life, yet she was happy, loved her children "madly" and enjoyed them immensely. This book was written by her daughter Celine, who had access to Zelie’s letters and to the reminiscences of her older sisters in the Carmel of Lisieux. It is authentic and inspiring, showing what a tremendous life’s work and accomplishment it is to be a truly Catholic mother. [more details...]

What kind of a father was he? These reminiscences describe Louis Martin’s marriage at age 34, his love and support for Zélie, his firm discipline yet tender affection for his children, his piety, observance of Sunday, business practices, selfless conduct, generosity to the poor, etc. Celine gives particular attention to the sufferings of her father’s old age, foreseen in a vision by Thérèse, which included a period of time spent in a mental institution. She describes his beautiful death, as well as a sign received by Thérèse indicating that their father’s soul had gone straight to Heaven. Letters written by Louis gives additional insights into his character. Louis Martin’s daughters considered themselves highly blessed to have had so good a father. [more details...]

The Whole World Will Love Me      Dorothy Scallan

This wonderful book links all the elements of her life into one intimate, flowing and absolutely enthralling story - relating details of her beautiful, holy mother; her noble and pious father; her great and generous sisters, all of whom entered the convent; plus her own story - from her infancy to her early entrance into Carmel at 15, to her death at age 24. Toward the end of her life, St. Therese came to an understanding of her own spiritual advancement, for she made several predictions that all came true: That her Story of a Soul should be published as soon as possible, that she would let fall a shower of roses on the whole world when she died, that she would assist anyone who called upon her for aid, and finally, that the whole world will love her. And it does! The Little Flower is probably the best known and loved Saint of all time. Also explains St. Therese's devotion to the Holy Face - and shows how it made her a Saint. [more details...]

Edith Stein Discovered: A Personal Portrait      Pat Lyne, OCDS

As a child Edith Stein had an intimation that she would be great. Her professor, the world renowned Edmund Husserl, realized that 'in her everything is absoultely true.' It is this passion for truth that marks the whole trajectory of her life and accounts for both her intense dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and the evolution of her spiritual life from a love of science to prayer, to the cloister and finally the witness that brought her to Auschwitz. In her case the monstrous tragedy of the Holocaust had a different kind of solution: 'the wood of the cross has become the light of Christ.' In this lucidly written book, Pat Lyne provides us with an engaging portrait of a saint with whom we feel she has such affinity. It is important to meet the woman who became a philosopher and eventually a saint before grappling with her thought and this book will prove to be the perfect introduction. Includes 26 black and white photos. [more details...]

Compelling and deeply moving accounts of the love that is stronger than death. The 20th century has witnessed some of mankind's most demonic actions, from the Nazi concentration camps, the Soviet Siberian camps, to the killing fields of Cambodia. Some say this proves God is dead. But, like so many others of our times, Johann Gruber and Jacques Bunel, two priests interned at the infamous Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp during the Second World War, bore witness in their flesh that God is far from dead, but alive. Their faith, courage and love unto death saved countless fellow prisoners. [more details...]

Elizabeth of the Trinity: Her Message and Spirituality      CTS

Elizabeth Catez, born of a military family, died at the age of 26 as a cloistered Carmelite nun in Dijon, France. Known when a youngster for her beauty, temper tantrums and great skill at the piano, Elizabeth’s spiritual life came to be marked by a deep realization that the Trinity itself wishes to occupy our soul. Close to death she said: ‘In heaven … my mission will be to draw souls to interior recollection, by helping them to renounce self in order to adhere to God in all simplicity and love.’ This small collection, taken from her letters, offers a rare insight into how to love and ‘be occupied’ by Jesus. She was beatified by John Paul II in 1984. [more details...]
