Fr. Jacob Bertrand Janczyk, O.P. and Fr. Michael-Joseph Paris, O.C.D. read through St. Thérèse of Lisieux's Story of a Soul chapter by chapter — 42 episodes exploring one of the most beloved autobiographies in Catholic history.
Thérèse entered Carmel at fifteen and died at twenty-four. She would become a Doctor of the Church. Story of a Soul is her account of how — not through great deeds or dramatic sacrifice, but through small acts of love offered faithfully, day after day.
THE LITTLE FLOWER
Catholic Classics: Story of a Soul - The Little Flower
Thérèse of Lisieux entered Carmel at fifteen and died at twenty-four. She never preached, never founded a religious order, never performed a public miracle. By every worldly measure, her life was unremarkable.
She became a Doctor of the Church. Story of a Soul is the reason why.
THE LITTLE WAY
Catholic Classics: Story of a Soul - The Little Way
Thérèse didn't discover a new spirituality. She discovered that the old one worked in small things as well as great ones — that every act of love, however hidden, however minor, reaches God. That the path to holiness is less a dramatic ascent than a faithful descent into the ordinary.
She called it the Little Way. It is one of the most radical ideas in the Catholic spiritual tradition.
THE PODCAST
Catholic Classics: Story of a Soul - The Podcast
Fr. Michael-Joseph Paris is a Carmelite — the same order that shaped Thérèse's entire life. Together with Fr. Jacob Bertrand Janczyk, O.P., he brings both theological depth and an insider's understanding of Carmelite spirituality to Story of a Soul.
Forty-two episodes. One of the most transformative spiritual autobiographies ever written.
