Darton, Longman & Todd. Soft cover. New/No Jacket. Daily readings with St Therese of Lisieux. Th�r�se of Lisieux is among today�s most popular and best-loved saints. Yet she entered a Carmelite convent when she was fifteen and died when she was only twenty-four. How did she come to be so widely known and loved? The answer lies in her writings.

ICS. Soft cover. New/No Jacket. St. Teresa of Avila wrote candidly the story of both her life and her work as foundress in two books: the Life and the Foundations.

Baronius Press. Leather/leatherette. New/No Jacket. St. John takes us on a journey into ourselves, a journey of knowledge and self understanding, that encompasses our failings and imperfections. It shows us how in a place beyond words we can embrace sadness and grief, and seeking God, our lives will be turned around. He describes the �arid and dark night of contemplation� which leads us to �the knowledge of oneself and of one�s misery.� True knowledge of our self and of our condition shows how far we must go to find God, who our restless hearts incessantly seek. The Dark Night of the Soul describes how first the senses, and then the spirit undergo a series of purgation, which aids in bringing it closer to God, and eventually preparing it for union with Him. The individual soul seeks Jesus in a mystical marriage. For after the dark night, comes the joy of mystical union with God. Bonded leather hardback, with ribbon marker. Number of Pages: 400
