agnes of jesus the separation is a terrible blow to therese yes father it is here that my life is begun it is a mistake to call life that which must end twice enough it is too much this is a trial

become sister marie of the sacred heart the visiting room which before was a source of tribulation to therese is now one of her greatest joys most of us on the same date you to pronounce your vows i my first communion it must have a significance i've been thinking about you this morning what have you given to jesus i have already offered during my two months of preparation three thousand seven hundred excess love and sacrifice more than fifty attempts if god is not able to count it means someone else must do it yes all i do is with my liberty i ask him to take that away from me you asked for the most difficult sacrificing by halves and worth well and you pauline what did you give him this morning my whole life because i know what his answer will be he'll answer now it's my turn it's true there is we must prepare for god's turn god's church as therese grew up her resolve was unshakable my [Music] i'm going to hurt you father to hurt me it'll be for the first time it'll be the last believe me i must enter the karma why you too my little queen it's asking a great deal of you having given pauline and mary you believe that i'd stay by your side i'm not thinking of myself but of you you're very young to take a decision of this nature oh no i'm not a child anymore since christmas i've changed i'm not the same girl there's a saying i feel i must be lie never was found so pure loving more than soul repentance i'm sure that i'm able to save sinners and make god love more than he has ever been i shall not try to keep you from him it is an honor god has summoned all my daughters one after the others may his will be done i gather this he gathers you i have nothing better to offer him encouraged by her father therese seeks admittance to the carmelite convent at lizier however the superior of the community abe de la troit declines her request because of her tender years furthermore the bishop of bayer refuses to overrule this decision my poor child we have tried everything no not everything rome rome yes since we have to go there i will see the pope he will listen to me i shall enter karma even if i have to walk through flames [Music] wow [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so remember you must proceed in silence it is absolutely forbidden to speak to his holiness [Music] [Applause] [Music] what's your advice speak [Music] [Music] holy father i would like to ask you something please permit me in honor of your jubilee to enter carmel underage i forbade you do you know who this child is i do your holiness the superiors are now examining her request yeah well my dear child you must do as the superiors decide oh holy father if you said yes they would accept me you will enter carmel if god wills it god willed it [Music] so yes [Music] well my reverend mothers you may now sing the todaium as delegate to the bishop i present you this 15 year old child whose admission you've allowed i shall pray that she lives up your expectations let me remind you that if she doesn't you alone will bear the responsibility uh [Music] [Applause] [Music] i shall stay here forever we shall help you with your things sister please don't come in we're not here to resume family life what do you think of the new one oh much too young and not very strong two martians were enough but three that's too much sisters sister elizabeth would you be so kind as to take a blanket to the cell of sister therese of the infant jesus you're not taking it yourself you should be happy to get your little sister back sister therese herself pointed out that we are no longer back home anyway she is visiting our mother priorities never forget that you entered carmel to live your life in imitation of our lord jesus christ you must love yourself for he is there ever present remember it is not enough simply to respect the silence you should seek it with silence that brings peace and comfort since he who lives in solitude has no other enemy but himself yes reverend mother is it true that you know the whole imitation of christ by heart yes i do mother very well recite for me one of the chapters the love of jesus above all other things blessed is he who understands that he must love jesus and he must despise himself for jesus sake he must renounce for jesus thou must one day be separated from all whether thou wilted or with not good i see it will not be necessary to remind you of the words of his large delegate dear gracias sister mary of the angels i place in your hands our new postulant an outstanding nature oh yes the outstanding don't be discouraged you must work without shrinking from even the most menial tasks all roads lead to god especially the most humble mother genevieve thank the red the founders of our community she's an angel so is that all you've done it is plain to see our cloisters are being swept by a child to disgrace after recreation remove that cobweb be more careful in the future didn't i say she'd be good for nothing my virginity is begging you to go speak there so it is difficult in the beginning if things are too hard come to see me once in a while how can i ever thank you my good mother certain of our sisters appear to be imperfect they are either novices or else sisters who are suffering from some painful melody i'm beginning to realize mother that a sister who is there's more in accomplishing part of her duty than a sister found in body and mind who accomplishes all well i'm pleased to say that you understood my child i entered here without any illusions mother i shall expect nothing but from god i know that my karma should be my way of the cross [Music] so please follow me i'll show you to the kitchen oh the dog the dog take him away sister i haven't the courage please forgive me uh [Music] it seems to me that you're not giving your prayer all the concentration required it is especially regrettable since it's been reported to me that you've been boasting on several occasions of wanting to be a saint is that correct yes reverend mother such presumption confine yourself to not offending god temper your desires with humility but reverent mother i do not find such desires intemperate because our lord told us to be perfect as our heavenly father is perfect do you think it's enough millie to do what you have to do to become a saint it would be too easy our lord asks more of his children go now and depending [Music] oh [Music] [Music] oh [Music] is [Music] are you happy are you sure you have no regrets yes a little one though it isn't a season i would wish everything to be white or covered with snow [Music] [Music] [Music] it's snowing [Music] what are you asking for i am asking for god's mercy the poverty of the order and the company of the sisters have you come here of your own accord and of your own free will to receive the habit of this order i have your lordship do you wish to enter this order for the love and fear of our lord i do with the grace of god in the prayers of the sisters in nominee batteries it's [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] sister our dear father is very you they've taken you to the hospital server i'm afraid to tell the news to dies what a blow this will be to her yes yesterday she was saying i don't understand saints who don't love their parents anyone can see that you have more good will in you than strength and you sister santiare you especially lack indulgence were you given permission to break the silence what's going on please forgive me mother for 16 days sister santiago has been brow beating me go back to your cell mother with your permission i'll do all i can to help this defensive good much too young way to hold a person you're much too clumsy have you heard that the cousin of sister teres is still married to dr laniel why is everyone's talking about it well then sister chairs too is getting married here's the announcement she's composed an announcement god almighty creator of heaven and earth sovereign and spiritual ruler of the world and the glorious virgin mary queen of the heavenly cult hereby announce the spiritual marriage of their noble sons jesus lord of lords and king of kings with the maiden teres machter henceforth i sister perez of the infant jesus make my profession and promise of chastity poverty and obedience to god our lord to the blessed virgin and to you [Music] hey oh yes over 60 years ago that teddy yum was soft for me and perhaps tonight i shall hear it sun in heaven do you classy oh mother i'm so sorry that you weren't with me when i took my veil my heart was there i've been watching you for a long time now at this moment i'm taking the place of god by your side and i can assure you there is that is very pleased with you you have learned to master yourself and to bear many painful experiences it is you who have consoled me mother you who've been suffering for seven years not for seven years sister teresa it's been over 40 years yes but nobody would have suspected nobody if i had not fainted that night in front of you how you must have suffered mother much more and much less than one imagined conspicuous wounds are more embarrassing than painful the main thing just a terrain is to be at peace with oneself i have always been at peace at peace with myself in life i've seen that everything is it's enough to want and to have the great assurance the very great assurance the assurance that god is only messy and benevolent that the yoke of the lord is gentle and his brother is light serving with peace and with joy remember always my child that oh god is the god of peace [Music] me friends [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] i've just caught the last teardrop of a saint after mother genevieve's death therese's sister pauline is elected priorus it was to be expected our new paris has given a difficult task to her sister just think instructing novices is her age sister marine it is not for you to pass judgment on our new priority her choice of sister was dictated by no other motive than the welfare of the community everything seems to be perfect now light the candles and make sure that the flowers are in place i'll go and tell our mother prior oh sister there is with no more matches let me show you oh [Music] you see sisters just a small lamp hardly a light produced all these flames and these will in turn lighten infinity of others and illuminate perhaps the whole world each of us resembles that insignificant light [Music] i'm glad you're here doctor the bell is no longer necessary to announce a visitor huh oh no doctor there are only three healthy sisters left in common sister sempier is much weaker this epidemic's getting worse than ever i haven't been able to get any sleep in two days thank you sister huh sister saint pierre is dead where is sister after jesus she must come to help us i'll call her their gracious sister elizabeth needs your help in the infirmary while you're burning with fever sister terrain please don't bother about me sister go to the infamous but sister therese mother maria gonzaga may need my help one of the essential rules of our community is that we must never show preference for one or the other of our companions sister to raise our mother i shall report to her afterwards i'd prefer to be censored or even expelled from the convent rather than fail in my duty now go quickly to the infamous why have you hidden your suffering from me who ordered you to wear that iron cross our mother murray of gonzack once i too wore that small cross when i first became a nun but i gave it up long ago the great penances were not meant for us are you having trouble with your novices sister there are those that i'm forced to take by the skin and others by the tips of their wings uh here's what dr de connie gave me during his last visit is it true sister therese that you've been raising protests against certain modifications that i advise sister madeline to perform yes reverend mother aren't you aware that the greatest saints modified themselves i believe that if god had really willed it sister mary madlem would not have been sick for so little i pity all those who are here who refuse to battle against the flesh spiritual combat seems to be much more important on pretext of mortification one commits successes which are injurious to one's health and interfere with the performance of one's duty what difference if they contribute to our salvation they too often lead to a desire to gratify oneself ours is a life of death mother we mustn't do anything which might either preoccupy our minds or keep us from reaching god what are you trying to do sister therese to question the principles of our mother teresa of avila to behave like a revolutionary to reform carmel to listen to god if all souls called to perfection at first before entering heaven to apply these macerations our lord would have told us and we would have inflicted them upon ourselves but he told us that there are many mansions in his father's house if there's one for the great there must be one for his smaller children our place is there beware sister torreira there are saints who are afraid to incur damnation tell me why you haven't that fear small children cannot incur damnation good only comes with obedience to give you one example among others you still persist in asking for communion every day we have our law sister therese and they are written for eternity during my lifetime mother you may force me to respect the laws but after i am gone i will make you change your mind [Music] for several months but she bears it for the sake of her unbelieving brethren thus she will bring back to the faith many non-believers [Music] dear gracias you see my little mother i obeyed your wish i'm writing my childhood memories but tonight you're in doubt sister you're before a wall which is hiding heaven am i still certain that there really is a heaven look at saint paul see how much he wandered before finding the road to damascus yes but do withstand such an attack against faith once be a real martyr isn't it too much for a small soul like mine no you have said it yourself the reward for perfect faith is not success it is trial [Music] you dream of light you hope one day to emerge from the mists where in your languishing forward forward rejoice in the death which will give you not what you hoped for but a still deeper night the night of everlasting nothingness greater love hath no man than this but a man lay down his life for his friends you compare yourself to god what have you done but refused the life he gave you you wish to be a saint and you struggle in the darkness i give you my peace abide in my love to reach him what do you bring him save your empty hands you are weak teres weak as a reed in this living body which is the church the rubber head the limbs the eyes and the hands there are those who think those who work those who heal and those who spread the word but be sellers for the better kids and i show unto you a yet more excellent way the way of chatting [Music] yes the church is a living body she has a head and members thus she has a heart a heart that suffers a heart that loves a heart that spread light throughout the whole body my vocation i have finally found it my vocation is love i have at last found my place and that place oh my god it is you who gave it to me in the heart of the church my mother i shall be loved and thus i shall be all [Music] one day a generous donor sends a rather unusual gift to come out don't touch it please sister looks like the devil himself let me handle this it's not at all surprising that he should resist he's the only one here who hasn't made a vow of obedience to our mother pirates here take this to the kitchen and have a stew made of it oh sister tavis [Music] so [Music] so [Music] you no more consider my advice than my solicitude you must be frozen oh no on the contrary i've never felt so warm if it continued snowing i begin again every day who wants to keep on washing and who prefers coming with me to prepare the ornaments on the altar sister toys we'd all prefer helping you with the altar thing what shall we do it shouldn't be so difficult to decide what it costs you to wash in cold water is what it costs the others therefore do it by taking the humblest places we practice mortification for ourselves and charity towards others so i'm huh in the meantime mother marie of gonzaga is again elected priorus it's probably a slight chill sister therese however if because of this illness you wish to receive dispensation from the lenten fasting you may no mother i shall finish the lenten season as i began it you see i placed it on hanoi you perhaps know why but sister therese it will be weeks before you arrive there a month and a half maybe even longer sister there father who is here the missionary who's leading for china yes he's in the visiting room sister to rise of the infant jesus yes brother i bless your mother paris for having chosen for me a spiritual sister whom i may write our mother is very kind your letters will be a great consolation a consolation i was hoping to be transferred to hanoi you've come to tell me that they've refused my request i know that your mother has very great need of you here she thought above all that the scabbard was not as sturdy as the blade and that it would be thrown overboard before reaching china it's really not convenient to have a soul and also a body you won't have the lesser parts yes i know you will be a missionary of action and i a missionary of love laughs your handkerchief's covered with blood he who i'm awaiting is arriving it's not very frightening on the contrary i will go and tell our mother price no i beg you not to say a word her mother knows that i'm not well if she hasn't sent for the physician then it is the will of god sister you were wrong in hiding from your condition why are you worried my little mother god only sent me this heavy cross but the moment i was able to bear it before it might have been a source of discouragement however today my mansion is entirely pacified my mother priors is sent for doctor de cornier you will be cured if god wills it and i am not sure he is willing but it's not important for it is his will that i love i commit myself to god the temperature is still very high continue the vesication and the hot needle the poor child's back is completely sore it must be done of course she must not under any circumstances leave the infirmary is it serious doctor i know you're very brave mother there isn't much hope now she has enough for those who haven't any i saw this coming long ago there's nothing i can do for her sister therese of the infant jesus is no more of this world you have so much courage sister therese no no i haven't enough courage i'm like a soldier who hearing compliments on his bravery and realizing all the while he's just a coward finally becomes ashamed of those compliments and would like to earn you i must go now but try to rest in case you need me don't hesitate to send for me sister therese i would like to ask you a question a delicate one if i don't much more wish to die than to live i let almighty god choose for me anyway i don't know what more i should have in heaven than i have now i would see god it's true but as for being with god i am with him on earth sisters i beg of you your fatiguing sister therese since they're always disturbing you i wonder how you're able to put two sentences together well i'm writing on charity it's the moment to give proof of it charity for all is all there is on earth we love god in the measure that we practice it [Music] what's that music it's the village feast [Music] why don't you rest sister just two more lines two lines i promise [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] i gather this he gathers you i have nothing better to offer him i can see from your eyes what you're thinking mother then they are right in bidding us to keep them lowered do you really believe that if your little therese be taken away it is i i think that we took care of her a bit too late that's all no you're wrong every mother for seven years i've said nothing but today it's my duty to justify my conduct do you remember i was the first one to uphold against the whole world her admission to carmel but at the very first i realized that one could not treat like a child or soul of that scallop i know i was severe i never spared her at all i also humiliated her voluntarily i admit it but without that would she be a little saint today to attain that end she needed help from no one he is above watching i was only the instrument of our lord's will in that case mother you have no further need of consolation god will judge us you have nothing to fear mother he will have judged your eyes before you my humblest prayers have been answered and so the biggest to die a death of love will be answered as well how is it your able system to stay so calm to remain so unafraid one may be afraid of death yes but one mustn't fear what comes after you will look down on us won't you no i shall descend come closer to me sisters i feel that my mission is just beginning my mission is to give my little way to save souls if my desires are granted my heaven will take place here on earth the end of the world i will i will spend my heaven in doing good here on earth oh reverend mother i realize all that i owe you the airport is failing me when will i breathe the air of heaven never will i know how to die reverent mother prepare me to die of good death my dear child you are prepared to appear before god you have understood the virtue of humility yes i've only been searching for the truth yes i have understood humility of the heart that the kingdom of heaven is within all of us uh i never thought that it was possible to suffer so much never never i'm only able to explain it by the ardent desire that i have to save souls and it was you who said we must leave that to heaven jesus our savior died of love and you know how great was his agony look stars i was sure of it all my wishes have been granted so bless you sisters she will understand she knows what it is to suffer as i do the time of the singing of birds i love thee [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh my god sisters [Music] oh yes [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] nothing is finished all is just beginning no objection could be raised to the innumerable proofs that therese had kept her promise to spend her heaven in doing good on earth on may 17 1925 pope pius xi canonizes saint therese of the infant [Applause] jesus her childhood prophecy has come true already patron saint of missions therese was designated second patron saint of france on an equal footing with joan of arc nevertheless the greatest saint of modern times will always be to each of us little [Music] teresa [Music] you
