Her autobiography is sometimes called The Story of a Soul. There are many editions available. If possible try to get one that is based on the authentic manuscripts and not one of the free e-books that uses a much older and less reliable text. E.g. use the translation by John Clark or the one by Ronald Knox.

Thank you for this presentation. At key times in my life, I have profited much from Catholic teaching, looking beyond my protestant upbringing and life. Now I'm retired and your presentation has touched me deeply again.

As a mental health professional, I would say that St Therese has often been considered as neurotic and dismissed, but actually, she highlights that having problems eg. stress, anxiety, depression, suicidal intent as Fr Wang highlights, is normal and they can be a source of strength if one doesn't insist on being 'happy' all the time as a goal, and we must overcome our anxiety to be 'normal'. Her neurosis was her strength as she focused on how to contribute to the world and those around her !. I'm enjoying Fr Wang's interpretation of St Therese, great talk.
Thank you for this second video on the 'little way'...
I forgave my husband and prayed that all our lives be one with God and we been married 37 years and I was told 20: years later by a family member that they witnessed how I never said anything bad or gossip about my husband situation and I never brought it up cause God healed our lives
great talk, very interesting . Thank you
As someone struggling with depression this has been so healing
The movie about her and her book helped me get through abandoned by my husband cheating living different lives and completely down.but I made it through I prayed the rosary and prayed to Jesus and humbled myself and stopped being a victim.i watched and read her book til I broke the DVD and the book fell apart.
A heart of flesh!
I dont like being a doormat when i have given much Loved much helping never is a sacrifice its just something one has to do.We needhelp with Daughters dental care she is off our insurance three years ago.
Ray Field hello and greetings to you. You write, "I would say that St Therese has often been considered as neurotic and dismissed, . . ." for a sense of clarification the question those words beg - is by whom? Only by anti-Catholics and those who must detract and attack a life so wonderfully lived and so generously "given", only those not in or of the Holy Spirit would claim such, those of us of the Holy Spirit see a phenomenal, almost unique life, certainly as regards notions concerning the modern idiom; the droves of people who have turned out to witness her relics around the world are perhaps testimony to that. Mental conditions are not definitive thereby evading a defining exact science category or categorisation, so she was not neurotic per se, from an early age she suffered what she termed scruples a condition overcome by her "conversion" at Christmas 1886. "Little flower", she liked to term herself, however, to those who understand her, more like a rod of pure graphene. Let's not condescend here, her detractors will always (and indeed must) deal their sense of sophistication and superiority in the superficiality of her, syrupy "Victorianism", "Bourgeoisieism" and the rather fey and prissy contexts of "her" time. However, she transcends all that nonsense and rises as a great Lover of Love, ego God the source of all Love and achieving the level of sanctity she did came virtue of an unbreakable will, exercised in dedication and prayer to Love and in turn be Loved by the supreme and greatest Lover of all, Our Blessed Lord.
