There are 20 days to go until the relics of St Thérèse arrive in Lancaster, and just eight days until the tour of England and Wales begins. Today is the anniversary of the solemn profession of St Thérèse in Carmel, which took place in 1890. She was just 17 years old when she made this final commitment to spend her life in the monastery. The picture here, which shows Thérèse lying on the floor as a sign of her dependence to God and submission to His will, is taken from the book for children produced for the Lancaster visit.
