The film Thérèse presents 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 contemplative film based on the true story of Saint Therese of Lisieux, one of the most popular saint of modern times.

Thérèse Martin, a pampered child from a middle-class 19th century French family,  journeys to Rome to beg Pope Leo XIII for permission to enter the Carmelite monastery at the unheard-of age of 15. Once admitted she experiences the joys and rigors of monastic life, and makes the surprising yet simple discovery that holiness can be achieved by small acts of love and compassion – a spiritual path she calls her “Little Way”. 

Through what she did, wrote and called “the little ways of spiritual childhood”, St. Thérèse showed how, in the daily business of life, we can make sure that we are advancing along the path of perfection. Benedict XV said that this way holds “the secret of sanctity”, and Pius XI declared that “human society would be reformed and restored if this way of spiritual childhood were followed.”  Pope Benedicte XVI noted,  St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s writings “illuminated all the Church with her profound spiritual doctrine,” and he recommends everyone to read them.
