In 1897, in a small town in the north of France, there ended the life of a young woman known to almost nobody. Her existence had not been marked by any visible greatness or any exceptional act. Within a few decades of her death, a pope would describe her as “the greatest of modern saints” and her exceptional holiness would be broadcasted all around the globe. Her story is the story of a buried life, a life lived in devotion to self-sacrifice and the charity of Christ in the ordinary round of common things, at a time when much of St. Therese’s own country and the world at large had grown comfortable in the materialism of modern life and forgetfulness of God.
