Poems of St. Thérèse, Carmelite of Lisieux

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (1873 - 1897), also known as "The Little Flower of Jesus", was a French Carmelite nun. She is one of the most popular and influential Catholic Saints since apostolic times, together with St. Francis of Assisi. This collection of poems, translated by S. L. Emery, brings together St. Thérèse's love poems to Jesus, poems of praise and thankfulness, poems that reflect on Jesus' life on Earth as well as a set of poems in honor of Jeanne D'Arc. The poems speak of her desire to become more and more like Christ and Mary and, above all, to serve God.
