Day 1: The Mercies of God (Story of a Soul)
Catholic Classics
St. Thérèse begins her autobiography explaining why she is writing it. She describes her reluctance to write, but also her sense of obedience to Mother Agnes. In these first pages, St. Thérèse touches on the importance of her family’s influence as well as the prevalence of God’s mercy throughout her life. Fr. Jacob-Bertrand and Fr. Michael-Joseph consider what we can garner from St. Thérèse’s reluctance to write her autobiography.
