St Therese of Lisieux, known as the "Little Flower", who died in 1897 virtually unknown outside her convent, is now recognized as the most popular and influential saint of modern times. She was canonized in 1925, and successive popes have recommended her as an authoritative spiritual guide for the 20th century and beyond. This personal testimony of St Therese of Lisieux was written at odd moments in school exercise books and on scraps of paper. It gives a human account of the life of the saint from the inside.
