[Free Friday] Plays by St. Therese of Lisieux

Many have read the endearing Story of a Soul, St. Therese’s autobiography, but lesser known are her letters (95), poems (62), prayers (21), and PLAYS.

There are eight plays, two being about St. Joan of Arc, in which role St. Therese is shown here.

They are available in English from ICS Publications, but more intriguingly, her original French manuscripts are kindly shared from Lisieux:

(The plays are under the heading Pious Recreations.)

The Story of a Soul

Reading a chapter per day in St. Therese of Lisieux’s autobiography. About halfway through. Deeply moving because her transparent devotion and childlike sincerity. Have you read?
