Doctrine of the Little Way

The Doctrine of the Little Way, developed by Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, emphasizes doing small, everyday actions with great love and trust in God. Rather than seeking grand achievements or overpowering efforts, it encourages focusing on simple, daily acts—like kindness or patience—done sincerely. The idea is that these humble acts, rooted in love, can bring about profound spiritual growth and closeness to God. It teaches that greatness in faith is not measured by size or importance but by the love and intention behind small acts.
