Many Christians feel the need to pray, but have no idea how to go about it. So they search for guides, for ‘models of prayer'. The great mystics scare them, but the path laid down by Therese of Lisieux, which she herself followed, is accessible to everyone and leads to the greatest saintliness. In truth, praying is so simple! It is the union between Therese and God, in Christ, which infused her life with such depth. And as Christ was her sole love, she spontaneously went to Him to listen and speak to Him. Without this vital current linking Therese with God, we cannot understand her prayers. This book is not one of those erudite works which Therese claimed ‘gave her a headache and shrivelled her heart'. It shows, in its simplicity, how Therese's prayer can become ours.
