First hand stories on the life of St. Thérèse by her sister, Sr. Genevieve of the Holy Face (Celine Martin)
A little classic that is like a second Story of a Soul! Conversations, anecdotes of St. Thérèse, her teachings, hidden virtues, amusing remarks and beautiful death - recorded by her sister Celine in the convent. Shows the "Little Way" in practice in daily life. A providential book! Celine Martin, also known as Sister Genevieve of the Holy Face, was born in 1869 at France as the seventh daughter of the Martin family. The sister of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Celine made known her own call to the religious life just two months after her hand was sought in marriage. Father Pichon, her spiritual director, afterwards authorized her desire for a vow of virginity, and she became a Carmelite nun in 1894. She was instrumental in spreading her sister's message by various means, but also found time to write two books of her own: The Mother of the Little Flower and The Father of the Little Flower. Four years after celebrating her Diamond Jubilee, Sister Celine Martin died on February 25, 1959.
