About the author
Born Marie Françoise-Thérèse Martin in Alençon, France, in 1873, she entered the Carmelite convent at Lisieux while still in her teens and lived a hidden religious life marked by prayer, suffering, and deep spiritual determination. She died in 1897 at just twenty-four years old.
She is best known for her “little way,” a path of spiritual life built on humility, trust in God, and faithfulness in small everyday acts rather than dramatic achievements. That plainspoken message, along with the honesty and warmth of her writing, has made her a lasting guide for many readers.
Her autobiographical writings were gathered after her death as Story of a Soul, the book most closely associated with her name. In 1925 she was canonized, and in 1997 Pope John Paul II declared her a Doctor of the Church, recognizing the enduring importance of her spiritual teaching.
