According to St. Therese of the Child Jesus

by Bishop A. A. Noser, S.V.D., D.D.

St. Therese suffered much, yet she was truly happy.  Here in 27 brief but powerful instructions Bishop Noser sets forth St. Therese's "secrets" for dealing with sufferings of body, heart and soul.  Even though a person may feel bad, and even though a person is still plagued by faults and failings, St. Therese shows how to live each moment such that one's life is immensely fruitful for eternity, and nothing will be wasted.
