An Apostolic Exhortation of the Holy Father Francis commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face. In this Apostolic Exhortation, the Holy Father speaks of the timeliness of the saint’s teachings and examples in our contemporary times. “At a time of great complexity, [St. Therese] can help us rediscover the importance of simplicity, the absolute primacy of love, trust and abandonment, and thus move beyond a legalistic or moralistic mindset that would fill the Christian life with rules and regulations, and cause the joy of the Gospel to grow cold.”
