Suzie Andres is a Catholic wife and mother living and writing in sunny Southern California. She and her husband Tony have been Discalced Carmelite Seculars drawing sustenance from the charism and doctrine of St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux for thirty years. The fruits of this feasting are available in Suzie's most recent book, Something New with St. Thérèse, Her Eucharistic Miracle, as well as in her previous books: Homeschooling with Gentleness, and A Little Way of Homeschooling (the latter of which features essays by a dozen other Catholic wives and mothers); The Paradise Project (a novel taking its inspiration from Pride and Prejudice, but set as a romantic comedy in a modern day Catholic milieu); and Selected Sermons of Thomas Aquinas McGovern, S.J., a work she edited in collaboration with the late founding president of Thomas Aquinas College, Dr. Ronald P. McArthur. Having earned her undergraduate degree in Liberal Arts at Thomas Aquinas College and a Masters in Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, Suzie finds her most prized lessons have been learned at the school of the two Little Flowers, St. Thérèse and her spiritual little brother, the Vietnamese Servant of God Marcel Van. The three of them can be found online at Miss Marcel's Musings (suzieandres.com/blog). Her very newest book, commissioned by the Augustine Institute and forthcoming from Ignatius Press is: Being Catholic, What Every Catholic Should Know. St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, more popularly known as St. Thérèse of Lisieux, or the Little Flower, lived from 1873 to 1897 in two small towns in Normandy, France. She grew up in a loving Catholic home, nurtured by her holy parents, St. Louis and St. Zelie Martin, and surrounded by four loving older sisters (all of whom eventually entered religious life). When she was fifteen, Thérèse entered the Carmel of Lisieux, a small monastery where she lived a quiet life for the next nine years, until her early death at twenty-four from tuberculosis. During her illness, this hidden soul prophesied that the whole world would love her, and she promised to spend her Heaven doing good on earth, letting fall a shower of roses after her death. True to her promise, Thérèse became a great intercessor and friend of priests, children, missionaries, religious, and laity alike. Her memoir Story of a Soul was published by her sisters a year after her death and has been translated into more than 60 languages, gaining her an audience in every corner of the earth. She is famous for not only looking down from Heaven, but "coming down," making her presence and love known through the gift of roses, the fragrance of flowers, and answers to petitions which run the gamut from conversions to physical healings. She has been officially named Patroness of the Missions (on a par with St. Francis Xavier), co-Patroness of France (with St. Joan of Arc), and a Doctor of the Church. Devoted wholly to Our Lord especially in His childhood and in His Passion, St. Thérèse loved making the Stations of the Cross. It was during one such Way of the Cross that she experienced, shortly after making her Act of Oblation to Merciful Love, the transpiercing of the Heart spoken of by St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila. In this book, quotations from her writings have been carefully selected to complement and illuminate the traditional 14 Stations, in order that her mission may be fulfilled: to make God loved as she loves Him.
