Learning How to Love with St. Thérèse

Most of us find it simple to love those who are kind, agreeable, and familiar. But the Gospel calls us further. As Christ says: "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?" (Luke 6:32). We are called to a deeper love-a love that reaches the difficult, the irritating, and even those who oppose us.This kind of love does not come naturally. It must be learned.In this practical and deeply spiritual guide, St. Thérèse of Lisieux-Doctor of the Church and master of hidden charity-shows us the path. Through her lived wisdom, we discover how small, concrete acts can become powerful expressions of supernatural love: a restrained word, a hidden sacrifice, a patient silence, a simple smile.Drawing on seven "windows into true charity," this book offers a path for anyone who: - - struggles with difficult relationships- desires to grow in authentic Christian love- seeks a spirituality that can be lived in daily life- Whether you are facing a challenging person, longing for deeper charity, or simply seeking how to love as Christ loves, St. Thérèse gently leads the way.
