St. Thérèse of Lisieux – Exhortation Pope Francis
“It is confidence and nothing but confidence that must lead us to love.”
It was these words, written in September 1896 by Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, which inspired the title of Pope Francis’ new Apostolic Exhortation.
Words, he affirms, that “sum up the genius of her spirituality and would suffice to justify the fact that she has been named a Doctor of the Church” (2).
