Summary "The Story of a Soul (L'Histoire d'une Âme): The Autobiography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux" is a spiritual autobiography written in the late 19th century. This work recounts the life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as "The Little Flower," detailing her profound experiences of faith, love, and simplicity in the context of her Carmelite vocation. Through her reflections, she shares insights on living a life of devotion and the importance of humility and childlike trust in God. At the start of the autobiography, Thérèse introduces her intention to share her spiritual journey, emphasizing her thoughts on the nature of God's grace and the beauty of simplicity in service to Him. She reflects on her early memories, the significant role of her loving family, particularly her mother, and the strong influences of her sisters. Thérèse expresses her deep affection for her parents, her awareness of divine love, and her desire to follow God's call, setting the stage for her later commitment to the Carmelite life. The opening chapters provide a glimpse into her childhood, characterized by love, piety, and a developing sense of vocation that would lead her to become a profound spiritual figure in the Church.
