Ive identified three gifts that Thrse has given me  which I would like to offer in this book to everyone seeking to find more meaning in their faith and their journey to find God. --Patrick Ahern  Transformation in our lives happens when we live with the confidence that \"God is nothing but mercy and love. In this inspiring book  beloved author Patrick Ahern looks at the teachings of St. Thrse of Lisieux  the Little Flower  through the lens of his own personal experiences in which this \"saint for our times\" played such an important role for more than seventy years. With honesty and humility  he delves into the transformational love that infused her faith  led her to be named one of only four female Doctors of the Catholic Church  and gave Aherns own journey direction and meaning.  Ahern focuses on what he calls the three gifts of Thrse: her universal appeal  her conviction  and her little way. Echoing Thereses recognition that bureaucracy  penances  rules and commandments miss the message of love that she knew to be true  he says  \"She convinced me that someone as ordinary as I could aspire to the love of God  which filled her heart to overflowing.\" He hopes the same for his readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946810601525,"sku":"ByrdShop_0385347898","price":59.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780385347891.jpg?v=1769967331","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/three-gifts-of-therese-of-lisieux-a-saint-for-our-times","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
