Beaucoup de chrétiens sentent en eux le besoin de prier, mais ils ne savent comment faire. Aussi sont-ils en quête de guides, de « modèles de prière ». Les grands mystiques leur font peur, mais le chemin que leur propose Thérèse de Lisieux et qu'elle a elle-même suivi est accessible à tous et conduit à la plus grande sainteté. En vérité, il est si simple de prier ! C'est l'union de Thérèse à Dieu, dans le Christ, qui faisait sa vie profonde. Et puisque le Christ était son unique amour, elle allait spontanément à lui pour l'écouter et lui parler. En dehors de ce courant vital qui reliait Thérèse à Dieu, on ne peut comprendre sa prière. Cet opuscule n'est pas de ces livres savants dont Thérèse disait qu'il lui « cassaient la tête et desséchaient le coeur ». En sa simplicité, il montre comment la prière de Thérèse peut devenir la nôtre.

Many Christians feel the need to pray, but have no idea how to go about it. So they search for guides, for ‘models of prayer'. The great mystics scare them, but the path laid down by Therese of Lisieux, which she herself followed, is accessible to everyone and leads to the greatest saintliness. In truth, praying is so simple! It is the union between Therese and God, in Christ, which infused her life with such depth. And as Christ was her sole love, she spontaneously went to Him to listen and speak to Him. Without this vital current linking Therese with God, we cannot understand her prayers. This book is not one of those erudite works which Therese claimed ‘gave her a headache and shrivelled her heart'. It shows, in its simplicity, how Therese's prayer can become ours.
