About the Book

In the entire history of the Church, no saint has performed as many miracles as Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. “The greatest saint of modern times” (as Pius X described her) is doing what she promised: “spending her heaven doing good on earth.” 

Among the fourteen thousand testimonies of apparitions, healings, and conversions preserved in the Carmel of Lisieux since the saint’s death, archivist Camille Burette has selected the most meaningful and moving among them to include in this volume. Like the miracle stories of the Gospel, they nurture our faith. From Edith Piaf’s healing to Grégory Turpin’s conversion, from the battlefields of World War I to modern-day families, Saint Thérèse never stops answering those who invoke her. With one aim: “To love Jesus and make him loved.” 

Angelico Press is pleased to offer this inspiring work as a companion volume to our previous publication: Stronger Than Steel: Soldiers of the Great War Write to Thérèse of Lisieux.
