Epistológrafa, poet, playwright (whose works became Joan of Arc to fulfill its mission) and flower painter, St. Therese was like watching one of his companions scornfully of Caramel, an "artist". But it was above all what we would call a marginal finger pointed steadily during its brief existence (Alençon, January 1873 - Lisieux, September 1897). Its beauty and its great sensitivity made her a different woman, and both in the Abbey where he studied, as in Caramel where he was considered a useless, paid dearly for this difference she explained, saying: "My excuse is that I am a girl" . Thank heaven, he always kept the spirit of childhood which inspired his famous "little way" and his expressed desire to become a saint through a life of love._x000D_

This child of fire should have lived in Spain at St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross to those achieved in its most sublime outbursts. In an era plagued by the fear of mortal sin and the terror of eternal damnation, St. Therese brought solace and hope in the infinite mercy of God.
