St Thérèse: an overview

Around the world there are countless shrines to St Thérèse. It is no surprise that a huge number of churches in Normandy - where Thérèse lived most of her life - have statues and images of her. These candles, bearing the image of St Thérèse, were photographed at Rouen Cathedral. Alongside the devotion there is a need to learn more about Thérèse's life and message, so a number of resources for catechesis and prayer have been published over recent months. From today there is an overview of St Thérèse's life and contribution to the Church on this website. It includes the text of Divini Amoris Scientia, the document in which Pope John Paul II declared St Thérèse to be a Doctor of the Church. You can find this new resource in pdf format here.
