St. Th駻鑚e of Lisieux: A Transformation in Christ (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781930051201)

During the year 2000, the relics of Saint Th駻鑚e of Lisieux (1874-1897) toured throughout the United States--at once confirming and stimulating an extraordinary resurgence of interest in the life and work of a Carmelite nun known as the "Little Flower." In Th駻鑚e of Lisieux: Transformation in Christ, Abbot Thomas Keating reflects on what St Th駻鑚e understood the teaching of Jesus Christ to be. Th駻鑚e had an extraordinary penetration into the heart of Jesus' teaching, something she developed into a program for daily life. Although she was only twenty-four years old when she died, Th駻鑚e had an extraordinary spiritual maturity. Father Keating writes about the teachings of Jesus in the parables and then shows what extraordinary insight Th駻鑚e had into those enigmatic sayings. According to Father Keating, St. Th駻鑚e tried to live the Gospel precept, "To love one another as I have loved you!" on a daily basis. She believed it was the best program to propose to people because anybody could do it and because the Kingdom of God was, and is, in everyday life and in what we, as individuals, do with it. As Father Keating shows, St. Th駻鑚e's teaching continues to reveal to us that if we only build up instead of tear down others and fully and lovingly trust that Christ is with us until the end of time we will be transformed.
