A true spiritual sister of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Elisabeth Leseur discovered and practiced her own Little Way a form of sacrificial love and asceticism uniquely suited to the domestic context.Lynn Nordhagen, When Only One ConvertsElisabeth Leseur s example of courageous generosity can strengthen every marriage, whether healthy or troubled. With lustrous humility and grace, she lights our way toward holiness in marriage, effective prayer for our loved ones, and the heights of personal sanctity.Fr. Joseph Esper, Saintly SolutionsA profound self-portrait of a soul molded and transformed by divine grace.
