See the three-minute film produced by Romereports in English reporting on the exhibit "St. Therese of Lisieux: Burning with Love" at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, which was visited by more than seven million people before it closed on September 16. Or see the text of the English commentary.
Pierre Fortin, vice president of the "Friends of Therese and of the Carmel of Lisieux," sponsor of the exhibit, remarks: “The aim of this exhibition is really to go to places where Therese hasn't gone: to prisons, to hospitals, to places where people suffer.” The exhibit may eventually go to Rio de Janeiro for World Youth Day next year.
iFor updates about the forthcoming visit of the relics of St. Therese to the Philippines, please "like" the new "official Facebook page for the third visit of the Miraculous Pilgrim relics of St. Therese of the Child Jesus to the Philippines" The reliquary of St. Therese visited the Philippines for the first time in the year 2000 and returned in 2008. The relics will return to the Philippines from December 15, 2012 through April 15, 2013 and will visit more than forty dioceses in Mindanao, Visayas, and Luzon. The visit is hosted by the Military Ordinariate of the Philippines. May it be a season of grace for that country and for the whole world.
Thanks to the generosity of the Archives of the Carmel of Lisieux, you can now visit in one page authentic, unretouched versions of all of the 47 surviving photographs of St. Therese of Lisieux: 45 photos taken during her lifetime and two after her death. Click on each thumbnail to see the enlargement.
The Carmel published these photos for the first time in 1961 in a beautiful album called Visage de Therese de Lisieux, which is now sadly out of print. The album appeared in English as The Photo Album of Saint Therese of Lisieux, edited by Father Francois de Sainte-Marie, O.C.D. This English edition, which contains eight brief chapters explaining the history of photography in Therese's Carmel and telling the story of Celine's paintings of Therese, which were in circulation before 1961, also explains the circumstances of each photo and identifies everyone who appears in it. The English edition is also out of print, but copies are available online below.
