St. Therese's letters, a translation of the critical edition of her correspondence by the late Canadian Carmelite friar Fr. John Clarke, are an unclaimed treasure. In Story of a Soul Therese writes "I find myself at a period in my life when I can cast a glance on the past," but in her letters we accompany her day by day. Read what she wrote at 14 on the day of her audience with Pope Leo XIII ("The good Pope is so old, one would say he is dead") and at 17 when she learned that her father would not be present at her reception of the veil: "Celine, my tears are falling as I write . . . "). The letters of her correspondents broaden our knowledge of her relationships and her world. The notes document Therese's family and environment. Reading through them chronologically yields a valuable experience of Therese's maturing and development over time. If you know Therese only through "Story of a Soul," please do not miss this chance to know her in a new way in her letters.
