Span-Little Way

Queremos amar a Dios con todo nuestro coraza³n, pero a menudo nos encontramos esforza¡ndonos por agradarle, muy conscientes de nuestras debilidades. A medida que se acumulan nuestros fracasos, nos frustramos y desanimamos. ¿Hemos perdido la esencia del evangelio? ¿Existe una manera simple, pero verdadera, de servir a Dios, que pueda llenarnos de gozo y paz en lugar de miedo y desa¡nimo? Santa Teresa de Lisieux enfrenta³ luchas similares. Como mujer joven que deseaba entregarse a Dios, se sintia³ intimidada ante la "la empinada escalera de la perfeccia³n". Tha ra se escudria a³ las Escrituras hasta que descubria³ un camino hacia la libertad. La llama³ "pequea o camino". Este es "el camino de la infancia espiritual, el camino de la confianza y la entrega absoluta". Es un reconocimiento de que mientras somos pequea os e imperfectos, tenemos un Dios poderoso que nos alcanza con infinito amor, gracia y fuerza para cuidar de todas nuestras necesidades. Mientras Tha ra se segua­a este nuevo camino, se consideraba una "pequea a flor" en el jarda­n de Jesa s. Ella entendia³ que era amada por su Padre celestial y hermosa ante sus ojos, y que poda­a florecer justo donde a‰l la planta³ mientras diariamente demostraba Su amor incondicional a los dema¡s, en pequea os, pero significativos actos de bondad, e intercedia³ en su nombre. Este hermoso libro de regalo destaca la profunda comprensia³n de Santa Teresa sobre la fe y la devocia³n, mientras captura visualmente, a trava s de flores como simples ilustraciones, el tema de la sencillez que impregna³ su vida. Al leer extractos de la autobiografa­a, la poesa­a y las cartas de Santa Teresa, con los versa­culos ba­blicos que los acompaa an, aprendera¡ a descansar en los brazos amorosos de su Padre celestial, permitiendo que su propia fe crezca y florezca.

We want to love God with all our hearts, but we often find ourselves striving in our efforts to please Him, acutely aware of our weaknesses. As our failures pile up, we become frustrated and discouraged. Have we missed the essence of the gospel? Is there a simple but true way to serve God that can fill us with joy and peace rather than fear and discouragement? St. Tha ra¨se of Lisieux faced similar struggles. As a young woman who desired to abandon herself to God, she felt daunted at the thought of climbing œthe steep stairway of perfection.  Tha ra¨se searched the Scriptures until she discovered a path to freedom she called her œlittle way.  This is œthe way of spiritual childhood, the way of trust and absolute surrender.  It is a recognition that while we are small and imperfect, we have a mighty God who reaches out to us with infinite love, grace, and strength< b> to take care of all our needs. As Tha ra¨se followed this new path, she considered herself a œlittle flower  in Jesus s garden. She understood that she was beloved by her heavenly Father and delightful in His eyes. And she could bloom right where He planted her as she daily demonstrated His unconditional love to others in small but meaningful acts of kindness and interceded on their behalf. This beautiful book highlights St. Tha ra¨se s deep insights into faith and devotion, while visually capturing, through simple floral illustrations, the theme of simplicity that permeated her life. As you read excerpts from St. Tha ra¨se s autobiography, poetry, and letters ”tracing such themes as "littleness," God's immense love for us, our devotion to God, loving others, prayer, humility, surrender, sacrifice, trust, and the joys of heaven ”you will learn to rest in the loving arms of your heavenly Father, allowing your own faith to grow and flourish.
