小德蘭是影響當代靈修最重要的代表之一。她以當時一位被看為卑微的女子經驗，提出「微末之徑」新的靈修路線，這條小徑以赤子之心與神親近，而上帝無限的憐憫與恩典是小徑的歸向。走在小徑上的人，操練在生活中微不足道的小事上愛神與愛人，培養隱藏在內心強大的愛的力量，展現出在平凡生命中的內在光輝。本文也分析小德蘭在隱修生活中親近的與神同行的默觀生活：喜樂與滿足之道、愛的克修、愛中默觀，從而理解她看似簡單卻深厚靈性基礎。本文最後指出她的靈修精神對當代的影響，期待她的見證對教會所追求的表現與影響力的卓越靈性有所啟迪。

ABSTRACT

Thérèse de Lisieux is one of the most important figures of contemporary spirituality. Based on her experience as a humble lady at the time, Thérèse proposed a new direction of spirituality, namely the path of her “Little Way”. This path draws people close to God through the loving heart of a child, and God’s infinite mercy and grace are the directions of this “Little way”. Those who walk on the path intensely practice loving God and others in ordinary daily matters, cultivate the great love hidden in the heart, and show their inner spiritual radiance in everyday life. This article also analyzes the contemplative life of Thérèse. She intimately walks with God in her secret life: the way of joy and contentment, the self-negation for love, and contemplation in love, so as to understand her ostensibly simple but profoundly spiritual foundation. This article concludes by pointing out the influence of her spirituality on the contemporary era and expecting her testimony to enlighten the churches on the leading spirituality of achieving performance and influence.
