Unknown: As early as

June 9 1914, Pope Pius the

10th decides to introduce

at the court of Rome,

the case of the little Carmelite

who died 17 years before.

By you after thorough

inquiry, the apostolic

process is formally

closed on October 30 1917.

In 1919, contrary to

ecclesiastical law, Pope

Benedict 15 authorizes

the College of Cardinals to

reopen proceedings

which will lead to the

beatification of center

death.

Whilst Joan of Arc was

when you're doing a walk

Why don't you go close

you know very well she's

afraid in the dark nope I'm not afraid to

come along

where we'll go now

despite her sensitive nature to

raise learns to be master of herself

it is during moments such as these

that her spiritual calling was revealed

Oh my little Joan of

Arc. I looked again and if

you want me to update

every night that's a good

girl

but soon Pauline, her little mother enters

Carmel to become sister Agnes of Jesus.

The separation is a

terrible blow to Torres

Yes Father

It is here that my life has begun

it is a mistake to call

life that which must end

twice enough it is too much

this is a trial which

seems to be an attack upon

Teresa's calling. So

painful Is it a Torres is

taken ill.

This hand reaching out like burning

black pieces coming in five.

Tell me Marie, do you

know what time your father

will return? About seven

o'clock? Why do you ask

Tell him I'll be back after dinner.

I have to speak to him

you must try to be Brave

you're cured marital Torres, you're cured.

Tell me to raise was it the

Holy Virgin who cured you?

Yes it was. The holy veteran looked

at me and smiled. And I thought that

a number of doctors

declared the Torres's

recovery had been

complete and instantaneous.

Several years have gone

by Marie to has entered

the Carmelite order she

has become Sister Marie of

the Sacred Heart

the visiting room which

before was a source of

tribulation to Torres is

now one of her greatest

joys. We were

both of us on the same

date you to pronounce

your vows as my first

communion. It must have a

significance.

I think thinking about you this morning.

What have you given to

Jesus have already offered

during my two months of

preparation 3700 acts of

love and sacrifice more

than 50 a day if God is

not able to count it means

someone else was doing

it. Yes. All that Jesus was my liberty.

Ask them to take that away from me.

You asked for the most

difficult that's a fashion

by have some worthwhile

and you Pauline, what did

you give him this morning? My whole life

because I know what

his answer will be here

now it's my turn.

It's true.

We must prepare for God's turn

gods

as tourists grew up a

resolve was unshakable.

I'm going to hate your

father to help me it will

be for the first time it

will be the last believe

me.

I must enter the Cana

while you to 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 a few. 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

fun. So if you're loving

more than so repenting,

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 other.

May His will be done

I gather he gathers you

I have nothing better to offer him

encouraged by her father

to read six admittance

to the Carmelite Convent

at least here however the

superior of the community

I'd be delighted to let

the clients or request

because of her tender years

furthermore the Bishop of Bayou 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 surrender come on even if I

have to walk through flames.

Remember you must proceed in silence,

it is absolutely forbidden to speak to His

Holiness.

To speak what's your advice?

Holy Father, I would

like to ask you something.

Please permit me in honor

of your Jubilee to enter

Carmel under each type

of bed you to say Do you

know who this child is?

I do your holiness. The

superiors are now examining

her request. Well, my

dear child, you must do

as the superiors decide.

Oh Holy Father, if you

said yes, they would accept

me.

You will end to Carmel if God wills it

guys

God willed it?

Well my Reverend mother's

You may now sing that today

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 to your expectations

let me remind you that if she doesn't

you alone will bear the responsibility

I should stay here forever

we should 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. Not very strong.

Two models were enough the

three that's too much. Please, Sister

sister Elizabeth,

would you be so kind

as to take a blanket to the

sale of sister Teresa,

the infant Jesus. You're

not taking it yourself. You should

be happy to get your little sister back.

Sister Teresa herself pointed out that

we no longer back home and we say

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 he is there have a

presence.

Remember, it is not enough

simply to respect the silence.

You should seek it is silence

that brings peace and comfort.

Since He who lives

in solitude has no other

enemy, but himself.

Yes, Reverend matter.

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

Are things

Blessed is he who

understand is that he must love

Jesus and he must despise

himself for Jesus sake

you must renounce all

that you love it for this

beloved for Jesus will

be loved above all other

things that must one day be separated for

more whether they will do it or will not

good

I see what will not be necessary to

remind you the words with large delegate

Yes Reverend Mother

didn't know say she'd be good for nothing?

Genevieve is begging you to go speak

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

the novices are those systems who

are suffering from some painful malady.

I'm beginning to realize

mother that a sister

whisk there's more to

accomplishing part of her

duty than a sister sound

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 car will

be my way of the Cross.

Please follow me I'll

show you to the kitchen

oh the ducks the ducks

veto

take him away sister I haven't

the courage please forgive me

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

that Reverend Mother I do

not find such desires in temporary

because our Lord told

us to be perfect as our

heavenly Father is

perfect. Do you think it's

enough merely to do what you have to

do to become a saint? It would be too easy

our Lord as more of his children

go now and do penance.

We

getting

Are you happy?

Are you sure you were

Yes, a little one.

Though it isn't the

season I would wish

everything to be white

or covered with snow

Knowing.

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 or the

love and fear of our Lord?

I do with the grace of God

and the prayers of the sisters

you know money batteries

it really it's spirit to solve

says Dirac your father

is very ill they take

him to the hospital Bolsover

at camp. Oh my god.

I'm afraid to tell the news to Tyus

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 goodwill in

you than strength and

you sister Sandy Are you

especially lack indulgence. Will you

give him permission to break the silence?

What's going on? Please

Forgive me mother for 16

days is just happier has

been browbeating me go

back to your cell

mother with your permission I'll do

what I can to help sister Thank you.

Good.

Too

much too young.

To hold a person You're much too clumsy

Have you heard this a

cousin of sister Therese

has been married to

Dr. Lanier Why yes, everyone's

talking about it. Well

then sister tears to is

getting married. Here's

the announcement she's

component and announcement.

God almighty, creator

of heaven and earth,

sovereign and spiritual

ruler of the world, and

the glorious Virgin Mary,

Queen of the Heavenly

Court, hereby announce

the spiritual marriage of

their noble Son, Jesus, Lord of lords, and

King of kings with a maiden Tara's master

hints for

I assisted to raise

the infant Jesus,

make my profession

and promise of chastity.

Poverty and obedience to God our Lord to

the Blessed Virgin and to you mother price

Oh, yes, over sister. Yes. That

was tough for me.

And perhaps tonight.

I believe it's in heaven.

Do class

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 to raise

that is very pleased with you.

You have learned to master

I'm to bear many painful experiences.

It is you who have consoled

me, Mother, You who

have been suffering for

seven years? Not for seven

years. Since

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 much,

much more and much

less than when imagined.

Conspicuous wounds

are more embarrassing than painful.

I mean thing just

is to be at peace with

oneself. I have always been

at peace with myself in life.

I've said this

everything is simple. It's enough to want

to

the us

the

assurance that God is only messy

that the yoke of the Lord is gentle

and his bird

is light

with peace

and joy

Amen.

All

right.

God

is the God.

I've just caught the last drop of a cent

after mother Genovese

death Teressa Sister

Pauline is elected prioress

It was to be expected.

Our new Primus has

given a difficult task to her

sister. Just think,

instructing novices at her

rate Sister Mary

It is not for you to pass

judgment on our new priors.

Her choices of sister

tourists was dictated by no

other motive than the

welfare of the community.

Everything seems to be perfect.

Like the candles, and make

sure that the flowers are in place.

Go and get our mother prior also today

with no more matches

let me show you

you see sisters

just a small lamp

hardly a light

produced all these flames

and these will in turn

light and infinity of others

and illuminate perhaps the home

each of us resembles

that insignificant light

I'm glad you're here

Dr. Bell is no longer

necessary to announce

a visitor. Oh no doctor.

There are only three

healthy sisters left in

common. sister Sophia is

much weaker this epidemic

is getting worse than ever.

I haven't been able to

get any sleep in two days

Thank you Sister

sister sent peers dead.

Where is this the mouth of Jesus

she must come to help us out go kart

deer grass

sister Elizabeth needs

your help in the infirmary.

While you're burning

with fever sister to raise

Please don't bother

about my sister. Go to the

fabric sister Teresa's mother

Maria Gonzalez 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'd prefer to be censured

or even expelled

from the convent rather

than failing my duty.

Now go quickly to the infirmary.

Sister Teresa, yes, I

understand you're in charge

of the novices. It's about

Sister Marie Madeleine.

I think she's been overdoing it.

Look.

This iron cross she's been wearing

has brought on a very serious infection.

I feel it my duty to warn you about this.

Doctor, would you please give that cross

to our mother prioress? She shall judge

why have you hidden

your suffering from me?

Who wanted you to wear that Iron Cross?

Our Mother Mary have gone sack.

One side to war 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 is a time for us to take by the skin

and others by the tips of their wings

here's what that to the Kanye

gave me during his last visit.

Is it true sister Teresa

that you've been raising

protest against certain

modifications that I

advise sister Madeline to

perform? Yes, Reverend

Mother Hochul were the

greatest saints modified

themselves. I believe

that if God had really

willed it, Sister Mary

Magdalene would not have

been sick for so little.

I pity all those who

are here who refuse to

battle against the flesh.

Spiritual conduct seems

to be much more important,

on pretext of mortification,

one commit successes

which are injurious

to one's health, and

interfere with the

performance of one's duty, what

difference they

contribute to our salvation.

They do often lead to a

desire to gratify oneself.

Ours is a life of death

matter. We mustn't do

anything which might

either preoccupy our minds or

keep us from reaching

God that you're trying to do

sister tourists to question the

principles of our Mother Teresa of Avila

to behave like a revolutionary

to reform Carmel to

listen to God, if also

was called to perfection,

at first before entering

heaven to apply these

methylations our Lord

would have told us and we

would have been fitted

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

are places there who were sister tourists

that are saints were

afraid to incur damnation.

Tell me why you haven't

that fear. Small children

cannot incur damnation. God

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

tourists 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.

Several months Torres

undergoes a terrible

spiritual trial but she

bears it for the sake of

her unbelieving brethren.

That she will bring back to

the faith many non believers

graces

you will see my little

mother I obeyed your wish

I'm writing my childhood memories

but tonight

you're in doubt

you are before a wall which is hiding hip

Am I still certain that

there really is a heaven?

Look at St. Paul.

See how much you wondered? Before

finding the road to Damascus? Yes.

But to withstand such an attack

against faith ones be a real matter.

Isn't it too much verse

more so like mine? No,

you have said it yourself. The

reward for perfect faith is not success

it is trial

your dream of light, you

hope one day to emerge

from the mists wherein

you are languishing.

Forward forward, rejoice

in the death which will

give you not what you

hope for, but a still deeper

night, the night of

everlasting nothingness.

Greater love hath no man than this,

that a man lay down

his life for his friends. You

compare yourself to God?

What have you done with

refuse 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 week has been.

In this living body which

is the church robber

head, the limbs, the eyes

and the hands are those

who think those who were

those who heal and those

who spread the word.

But the centers for the

better gifts and I show unto you are yet

more excellent way, a way of channeling.

The church is a living

body. She has a head and

members that she has a

heart. A heart that suffers

a heart that loves the heart that

spread light throughout the whole body.

My vocation

I have finally found it.

My vocation is love. I

haven't lost 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 I shall

be

one day a generous donor

since rather unusual gift

to come out. Don't touch

it please system 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 available

obedience. John mother priors.

Take this to the kitchen

and have a stew made of it.

Oh,

sister Tevez.

My

sister to raise you know

more consider my advice

than my solicitude. You

must be frozen on No. On

the contrary, I've never felt the warmth

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?

So to do is we'd all prefer helping you

with the altar things. 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.

In the meantime mother Marie of

Gonzaga is again elected prioress.

It's probably slight chills to tourists.

However, if because of

this illness, you wish to

receive dispensation

from the Lenten fasting you

may no matter I shall finish

the Lenten season as I began it

your seat see I placed it on Hanoi

you perhaps know why.

But sister to raise it will

be weeks before you

arrive there a month and a

half. Maybe even longer

sister today's father who lives here

the missionary who was leaving for

China? Yes. Using the visiting room.

Sister Teresa, the infant Jesus.

Yes, brother.

I bless your mother

prioress for having chosen

for me, a spiritual

sister who money right.

Our mother is very kind. Your

letters will be a great consolation.

Consolation.

I was hoping to be

transferred to Hanoi. You've

come to tell me that

they 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 less apart system

Yes, I know

you will be a missionary of action

and I am missionary of love

was just a test your hacker

just covered with blood

he who I'm awaiting

is arriving it's not very

frightening. On the

contrary I will go and tell my

mother price no I beg

you not to say a word

how mother knows the

time not well, if she hasn't

seen 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 crust

that the moment I was able to bear it

before it might have been a source of

discouragement

however today I mentioned

is entirely pacified my

mother priors has sent

for doctor to koinonia 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.

Temperatures do very high

continue the investigation

and the hot needles.

The poor child back is

completely so 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.

There isn't much hope now.

She has enough for those who

haven't been. I saw this coming long ago.

There's nothing I can do.

To Tereza the infant Jesus

is no more of this world

you have so much courage to say

no no, I haven't enough courage.

I'm like a soldier

hearing compliments on

his bravery and realizing

all the while he's just a

coward finally becomes

ashamed of his confidence

and would like to learn

I was gonna try to rest

in case you need me

don't hesitate to send for me

yours

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.

And then I have now

I would see God it's true

but as for being with

God with him on Earth

sisters or beg of you

know fatiguing sister to raise

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

What's that music it's the village

Why don't you rest sister

just two more lines two lines I promise.

I gathered this he got us you

I have nothing better to offer

I can see from your eyes

what you're thinking other

than they are right in

getting us to keep them Lord.

Do you really believe

that if you're a little rest

be taken away. It is I I

think that we took care

of her a bit too late.

No, you're wrong, Reverend 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

day I realized one could

not treat like a child

was sold that color.

I know I was severe.

I never spared her at all.

I also humiliated her

voluntarily admitted.

But without that, would

she be a bit of st today

to attain that in 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 was judged

you have nothing to fear mother

he will have judged today as before you

I'd always hoped that

the weather would be

nice on the day of my death

Do not weep sisters

like those who live without hope

until now

my humblest prayers have been answered

and so the biggest

to die a death of love

will be answered as well

how was it your able

system just stay so calm

to remain so afraid

and maybe afraid of death

Yes, but one mustn't fear what comes after

you will look down on us won't you

know

I should descend

closer to my 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

till the end of the world

I will

I will spend my heaven

in doing good here on earth

Oh Reverend

I realized all that I owe you

Yeah, everybody's failing me.

When will I breathe the air of Heaven

Never will I knew how to die

prepare me to die a good death.

My dear child,

you are prepared to appear if

you have understood

the virtue of humility.

Yes,

I've only been searching for the truth.

Yes, I have understood

humility of the heart

and that the kingdom of heaven

is within all of us.

Right

I

never thought

that it was possible

I'm only able to explain it by the

ardent desire that I have to save soon

and it was you who said

we must leave that to him

Jesus our Savior died of love

and you know how great was his agony

look stars

I wish sure of it

all my wishes have been granted

bless your sisters

she will understand

she knows what it is to suffer

as I do

time of the singing of birds is come now

come hither my beloved one

my little

arise

for winter is passed

all

consuming

it is love alone love

my god

I love the

oh my god, Sister Teresa.

Everyone

Nothing is finished. All is just beginning

no objection could be

raised to be innumerable

proofs that Torres had

kept her promise to spend

her heaven in doing good on her.

On May 17 1925, Pope

Pius the 11th canonized

as Saint Torres

of the infant Jesus.

Childhood prophecy has come through

already patron saint

of missions, Torres 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 other's

little terms
