This module is part of the Distance Learning Website of the Carmelite Institute of Britain and Ireland (CIBI)

 

This online course explores the life and doctrine of St Thérèse of Lisieux, recently proclaimed Doctor of the Church, who was described by Pope Pius X as the “greatest saint of modern times” – and this long before she was canonised at all! Many saints did great work in the areas of healing, teaching, preaching -Thérèse did none of these things.  Her motto was: To do ordinary things with extraordinary love. Many and various groups and individuals who had nothing in common with each other have been united in their devotion to her. 

We will proceed along the following lines in the five units of the module: 

1. 
   Historical and family background to the life and times of Thérèse;
2. 
   Sketch of her life;
3. 
   Outline of her spirituality and message;
4. 
   The Little Way;
5. 
   Thérèse and the mystery of Suffering.
