Autobiographies by Saints

[aservant]

I’ve read the confession’s of St Augustine , which was very helpful and profound, also a good book to refer back to here and there.

Yet the autobiographies I’ve read that have stayed with me long after reading them are written by St Therese of Lisieux, St Margaret Mary Alacouqe and St Gemma Galgani, these three where written out of obedience; I found greater insight into their lives more than any biography or autobiography written by simply choosing to do so.

Are there any others similar to these?

Have you read the Secret Diary of Elisabeth Leseur?

Not sure if it was written out of obedience though, if that is a criterion for you.

I haven’t read it or even heard of it. I will look it up.

Thank you.
