Demonstrates how the examples of Thérèse of Lisieux can help Christians reconnect with the more loving aspects of their faith, explaining how to avoid religion's bureaucratic practices while experiencing abundance and fulfillment.

A reverent rendition of the story of a young girl who became an inspiration to the French people. At age 14 she was denied permission by her father to be allowed to enter the convent of Lisieux. Therese then publicly petitioned Pope Leo III for his acceptance, and with his blessing she joined the order of the Carmelites. Tragically, she died of tuberculosis at age 24. However, her spiritual passion did not go unrecognized, and in 1925 she was canonized as the second patron saint of France (the first being Joan of Arc).

The mesmerizing story of a young girl's romance with God. Her faith, trials, and sacrifices reveal a way of life based on love and simplicity. A ponderous film based on the true story of Saint Therese of Lisieux, the most popular saint of modern times.
