For the occasion of the 100th Birth Anniversary of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, Fr. Linus Ryan, O. Carm., invited Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen to come to his Church in Dublin, Ireland to preach a retreat on the life of the Little Flower. The result was an inspiring series of talks that not only revealed many new insights into the life of this great Doctor of the Church, but also into the life of this holy bishop.
Now, 34 years after that blessed retreat - 28 years after Bishop Sheen's death in 1979 - this series of talks is finally available in book form. In cooperation with Basilica Press, the Commemorative Deluxe Edition of Archbishop Fulton Sheen's St. Thérèse is now available through the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation.
"In these trying days saints are not only needed, they are necessary. In this little book, the great Archbishop Sheen explores the spirituality of the Little Flower, giving us lessons and guidance for our own journey to Heaven. There is only one Fulton Sheen and here he is at his best: teeming with spiritual insight, filled with drama, and oh so practical! It's like going on a retreat with the master himself. A retreat I heartily recommend."

"These sermons by Bishop Sheen representing a life long study of the spirituality of St. Thérèse are among the most inspiring of his works. There are many new insights into the much studied life of the saint but also into the spiritual life of this apostle of the media. The reader will be profoundly rewarded."
