St Therese of Lisieux\u27s perception of God

Abstract

(i) The way her writing can inform us of how we come to view God (ii) In this light, what might we learn from Thérèse today? It is probably true to say that, at the level of \u27popular\u27 faith, Thérèse of Lisieux has been adopted by many as their \u27go-to\u27 person-in heaven. As such, she has been experienced as someone who bestowed special, even miraculous, favours—something she gave permission for in her lifetime. However, here we\u27re not talking about a beyond-death Thérèse we might have personally experienced. The Thérèse I will speak about is from research, specifically with respect to the feelings and events she recorded about her life
