Story of a Soul

St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Story of a Soul

Story of a Soul is the spiritual autobiography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, a French Carmelite nun who was eventually named a Doctor of the Catholic Church. She recounts her sensitive childhood, her deep attachment to family, and the emotional trials that shaped her longing for holiness. Entering the Carmelite convent at an unusually young age, she describes the daily rhythm of cloistered life, marked by hidden sacrifices and quiet struggles. Central to the narrative is her development of the “Little Way,” a path of sanctity based on humility, trust, and small acts of love. Written at the request of her superiors, this spiritual classic presents a deeply personal vision of sanctity grounded in everyday faithfulness.
