I Believe in Love: A Personal Retreat Based on the Teaching of St. Therese of Lisieux

The key to happiness from one who found it in joyful abundance: St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

This spiritual classic has long been beloved by Catholics for its wondrous distillation of the teaching of St. Thérèse of Lisieux into a reader-friendly set of meditations. It’s perfect as a personal retreat when you have only a few moments to spare each day — and for spiritual reading anytime and anywhere.

Fr. Jean C. J. D’Elbée, a French priest deeply imbued with St. Thérèse’s spirit, brings you St. Thérèse’s teachings on God’s love and the confidence in Him that it should inspire in your soul; humility, peace, and fraternal charity; the apostolate; the Cross; and what it means truly to abandon yourself to Divine Providence. 

I Believe in Love has helped countless souls embark on the way to the Father. It will help you focus on Him throughout each day, rest in Him amid your troubles, and live joyfully with Him at every moment!


The Way of Trust and 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.

The Way of Trust and Love

"I ordered this combination to get The Way of Trust and Love. I already had the other book, and I wanted to give that one away. I've been reading the new one the last few weeks and am inspired as always by St Therese. It's a great book for Lent, to prepare for confession and Easter. Thanks once again."

I buy books I like

"And put them into a ‘get to’ pile. I haven’t gotten to either of these books yet. My mother loved The Little Flower and I follow my mom (I am 85). I have two little statues of St Teresa. One standing in front of my son’s FHC photo and the other in front of his college graduation photo - asking her to send flowers down from Heaven on him, his family and his work. I will love the books. Mary"

"Excellent companion to Believe in Love. I learned more of the insights of St Theresa. As my patron saint she guides me daily and discovering more about true love of Jesus is a blessing every day."

I am grateful these two

"I am grateful these two books were being offered as a dynamic duo on sale together. This deal is what I needed to read more on St. Therese’s philosophy of living out love and trust well. And I needed it in such a busy time—I am grateful these books are available while also supporting a Catholic Company."

Journey with St Thetesa

"I live these books and the “Little Flowers” way of life. Her love of Hedys shines forth constantly-yet she lived a simple life, very United with the one she loved, Jesus. He was/is all that mattered because in loving him, she loved all!! Thirst books help to keep one “ fixed on Jesus” in lol I’ve with him daily."

Katherine G. (4/5)

Excellent!

"I purchased these as a confirmation gift for my son, who chose Saint Therese as his patron saint. The Little Flower has been a great intercessor for us, and we love reading more about her life and the Little Way."
