<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Despite the countless volumes written on St. Thérèse of Lisieux, author Suzie Andres has found something brand new which no book on the Little Flower has yet closely examined: namely Thérèse's Eucharistic miracle, at the heart of her Act of Oblation to Merciful Love. Here readers will find Thérèse's invitation to make her miracle their own.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Though St. Thérèse of Lisieux lived a short, hidden life in a Carmelite monastery in a small town in France, she predicted that after her death the whole world would love her and promised to send a shower of roses, spending her Heaven doing good upon earth until the end of time. True to her word, the Little Flower has favored countless souls with her friendship, and her name and image can be found in every corner of the earth. Pope St. Pius X called her "the greatest Saint of modern times," and the nine popes following him have all endorsed her Little Way of Spiritual Childhood. She is the Patroness of the missions alongside St. Francis Xavier, Patroness of France with St. Joan of Arc, and in 1997, Pope St. John Paul II named her the 33^rd Doctor of the Church. And yet after 120 years of this young nun's universal acclaim, author Suzie Andres has found something brand new to say about St. Thérèse. Taking a little known petition from Thérèse's Act of Oblation to Merciful Love, the author reveals a Eucharistic miracle that the Little Flower not only lived, but promoted among those close to her. This book begins with an explanation of St. Thérèse's Eucharistic miracle, and goes on to find evidence of this miracle in the lives of other great Saints, from Margaret Mary to Padre Pio. The author then uses Thérèse's own arguments to prove that this particular grace, as well as the Act of Oblation to Merciful Love, is meant for all little souls. <em>Something New with St. Thérèse</em> is an invitation to readers to take further steps along the Little Way and into the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>I absolutely love it. Suzie is light-hearted (much like Thérèse), and she is easy to read. At first I thought, 'There is no way I would ask God for such a miraculous grace. I am most unworthy . . .' But then Suzie points out that this is exactly the condition Thérèse says is necessary for making the Act of Oblation to Merciful Love.<br>- Sister Natalie, Maronite Servant of Christ the Light</p><p>When I read Therese's petition, I think of the confidence of the early Church Fathers as they prayed. They dared to speak of salvation as deification and divinization. Thérèse is no less daring, because she is childlike. This is a beautiful book.<br>- Mike Aquilina, author of <em>The Fathers of the Church</em> and <em>The Eucharist Foretold</em> </p><p>Suzie has written a very fine and original book! She understands St. Thérèse very well, her theology is solid, and she offers us 'something new' and refreshing. I smiled all the way through it.<br>- Father Donald Kinney, O.C.D., translator, <em>The Poetry of St. Thérèse of Lisieux</em></p><p>This book sparkles.<br>- D.Q. McInerny, Author, <em>Being Logical: A Guide to Good Think</em></p><br>
