Those who attended St. Therese during her last illness were living in the company of one of God's greatest saints, one prepared for our times. Fortunately they did not simply listen to her conversations, they wrote them down, totally unaware that eventually a great multitude of yet unborn friends of Therese would hunger for these words.
After the passing of so many years since her death September 30, 1897, and her canonization, May 17, 1925, there still is great interest in this very powerful friend of God.
