Can you tell me about the Science of Love by St. Therese.?

Question

"There is no other greater science than to study the science of love."

Answer 1

it was that she did little things with great love for Jesus~

Answer 2

This term comes from Pope John Paul II, a great admirer of St. Therese who recognized this Carmelite nun as a "doctor of the Church." John Paul is not using "science" in the familiar way, as a matter of experiments, systematic observation, and refutation of other views, but in the original way, as a direct way of knowing God:

"In Divini Amoris Scientia, his apostolic letter announcing the doctorate, the Pope goes even further. Thérèse was a master of 'the science of divine love' who 'experienced divine revelation,' 'knew Jesus,' and 'penetrated the mysteries of his infancy,' making her a 'living icon' of God. Moreover, the Pope adds, Thérèse’s Little Way is at once 'unique' and 'the most basic and most universal truth.' She thus draws from the wellsprings of the gospel and prepares the future harvest of the Church. Adding his own coda to this crescendo of praise, Payne suggests that Thérèse’s writings may be taken as a model for a new kind of theological reflection, deeply rooted in Scripture and tradition, that yields fundamental insights—witness her 'rediscovery' of the God of infinite mercy or her revolutionary idea of heaven as a place, not only of beatific vision, but of earthly activity. Thérèse proves to be not only a saint, but, in Balthasar’s memorable phrase, a saint who practices 'theology on its knees.'"
