Summary:
A reverent rendition of the story of a young girl who became an inspiration to the French people. At age 14 she was denied permission by her father to be allowed to enter the convent of Lisieux. Therese then publicly petitioned Pope Leo III for his acceptance, and with his blessing she joined the order of the Carmelites. Tragically, she died of tuberculosis at age 24. However, her spiritual passion did not go unrecognized, and in 1925 she was canonized as the second patron saint of France (the first being Joan of Arc).
