Deepen your trust in God with the bold and gentle guidance of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. This spiritual biography of Saint Thérèse emerges from the Carmelite tradition and insightfully captures several key moments of discovery in Thérèse's spiritual life—from her willingness to acknowledge and accept her powerlessness and imperfections, to her acts of complete confidence in God, to the revelation that God meets her in her inadequacy with his merciful love. Witness the spiritual growth of Saint Thérèse, the "Little Flower," as she blossoms in God's garden, and find the courage and inspiration to grow in holiness yourself in response to God's merciful love.

Jean Lafrance (1931–1991) was ordained for the diocese of Lille, France in 1963. His active ministry included service as a parish priest, college professor, and chaplain to a community of nuns in Paris. In addition, he preached retreats and published numerous books on the power of prayer. Lafrance’s writings have been translated into over seven languages.
“Not just another book on the beloved saint from Lisieux, My Vocation is Love offers a captivating glance into the profound depth of St. Thérèse’s spiritual doctrine. This refreshing, penetrating analysis shatters the all-too-common, sugary sweet stereotypes of the youngest doctor of the Church. With clarity and conviction, Jean Lafrance leads us on a journey into the heart of “The Little Flower” that ultimately leads us to the heart of Christ himself. More than a theological treatise, this practical, accessible book gives concrete guidance and hope to those of us stumbling along the path to perfection. The insights contained within its pages cannot help but transform the lives of sincere readers, be they sinners or saints.”

“Lafrance has done a masterful job of elucidating the central principles of St. Thérèse’s spirituality—childlike confidence in God’s mercy, humility, and abandonment to God’s will. His presentation of the development of Thérèse’s "Little Way" is conveyed with both clarity and insight through a judicious selection of quotes from her writings. My Vocation is Love is a book that will enlighten and enrich all who read it.”
—Marc Foley, OCD, Author of The Context of Holiness: Psychological and Spiritual Reflections on the Life of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
