Summary

It is not common to have first hand accounts of the early lives of saints. However, St. Thérèse gives a thorough account of some of her earliest memories. She shares about each of her sisters and her relationships with them. In these pages, we also read through the story surrounding St. Thérèse’s prophetic statement “I choose all!” Fr. Jacob-Bertrand and Fr. Michael-Joseph discuss how St. Thérèse’s family is the foundation for who she is.
