With Empty Hands: The Message of St Thérèse of Lisieux | Conrad De Meester, OCD
The author asks why and how this young girl, who asked to be admitted to the Carmel of Lisieux and persevered in her vocation to a hidden life in an obscure corner of France, is not only loved and invoked by millions of people but has become a profound influence on theology, spirituality and the missionary apsotolate, culminating in her being declared a Doctor of the Church. He shows how the intuitions of her faith were achieved by growing from spiritual poverty to spiritual maturity through much suffering and in spite of many crises and reversals. This book reveals Thérèse as the saint of hope, whose constant watchword was 'My God, I love you!', and as a revolutionary of love through whom God worked and works as a liberating force.
