Discover Saint Thérèse: for a first visit to the history of Thérèse, the places of her life, her writings and her spirituality

Is there a method for reading Thérèse and entering into her “little path of childhood”? During a spiritual weekend led by Father Emmanuel Schwab, rector of the sanctuary, introduce yourself to the spirituality of Saint Thérèse through a first exploration of her history, the places of her life and her writings, in particular her autobiographical manuscripts published under the title “Story of a Soul”.

“Before taking up my pen, I knelt before the statue of Mary (the one who gave us so much proof of the maternal preferences of the Queen of Heaven for our family), I begged her to guide my hand so that I do not draw a single line that is not pleasing to him.”
