Abstract

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

“Upon my death I will let fall a shower of roses; I wish to spend my heaven in doing good upon the earth.” This is the famous promise made by St Thérèse which, she fulfilled. Reading these words from my daily prayer book, this well known quotation is part of what initially intrigued me about the life of this heroic saint."
