Letters to Her Spiritual Brothers collects the correspondence between St. Thérèse of Lisieux and missionaries Fr. Adolphe Roulland and Fr. Maurice Bellière.
The
letters cover the practical and spiritual aspects of religious,
clerical, and missionary life in the 19th century, and offer a unique
glimpse into the soul of one of the most beloved saints in recent
history.
In
addition to the letters themselves, this edition includes an overview
of the lives of Frs. Roulland and Bellière, and additional documents
relevant to their correspondence with St. Thérèse. In order to assist
the reader in better understanding the context and circumstances
surrounding the letters, substantive footnotes have been incorporated
throughout.
Although
more than a century has passed since they were written, these letters
confront perennial themes familiar to Christians of every generation.
Every Catholic, whether clerical, religious, or lay, will discover
immense spiritual benefits in this unique collection.
