Pope Francis recently wrote a letter titled C’est la Confiance, expressing his admiration for St. Thérèse of Lisieux and her teachings on love, self-giving, and trust in God’s mercy. The pope emphasized the importance of St. Thérèse’s little way, which focuses on simplicity, love, trust, and abandonment to God’s will. He released the letter on October 15 to highlight the enduring relevance of St. Thérèse’s teachings. Despite her short life, St. Thérèse had a significant impact, and she was declared the patroness of missions by Pope Pius XI and a doctor of the church by St. John Paul II. The little way offers a path to holiness accessible to everyone, emphasizing trust in God’s mercy rather than individualistic notions of holiness. Pope Francis concluded the letter with a prayer, asking for St. Thérèse’s intercession in enabling Christians to imitate her way of holiness. Through this letter, the pope encourages Christians to embrace simplicity, love, and trust in navigating the complexities of the modern world.
