Through her \"little way,\" she has inspired many Catholics to love God simply, devoutly, and with great love. St. Th r se believed that no act of faith is too small for God. Loving God in this way wasn't always easy for St. Th r se, but even through her suffering and death at age twenty-four she tried to love God with all her heart. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her autobiography, \u003cem\u003eStory of a Soul (L'Histoire d'une  me)\u003c\/em\u003e, St. Th r se shares the story of her \"little way\" and helps us see God in his smallest creations.
