in 1886, Therese had a conversion
that transformed her life. From then

sensitive spirit were turned toward
love, instead of keeping herself
happy. At 15, she entered the
Carmelite convent in Lisieux to give
her whole life to God. She took the
religious name Sister Therese of

she was gifted with
great intimacy with

sickness and dark
nights of doubt and

faithful to God,

with tuberculosis, she
died on September 30,

Her last words were

"My God, I love You!"
