TRS 759 Therese of Lisieux and Elizabeth of the Trinity
This course examines the life, spiritual teachings, and enduring impact of the youngest "doctor of the church" and co-patron of the missions, Thérèse of Lisieux, and her younger "sister in the spirit" Elizabeth of the Trinity. Attention will be given to Thérèse's Story of a Soul and the development of her "little way" of confidence and love, the significance of her "trial of faith," her "missiology," and her enormous influence on the contemporary church. The course will also explore Elizabeth's influential letters and retreat notes on the indwelling of the Trinity, noting the similarities and differences between these two great spiritual masters.
