Thérèse

This movie is the story of St. Thérèse of Lisieux and is a touching representation of episodes from her life, ministry and death. I prefer movies without so much narration, but this was a sweet film.

The Society of the Little Flower is a society for the promotion of devotion to her. EWTN has information on her, focusing on her centenary here. Her autobiography The Story of a Soul can be read online here.

This is the movie trailer:





St.Thérèse died of tuberculosis. Some information on this disease can be found on wikipedia, cdc.gov and at the Global Tuberculosis Institute.
