St. Therese performed a miracle with my daughter who was only 2 lbs. at birth. Told she wasn't going to make it......everyone prayed to our little flower and, boy, did she make it. Therese graduated with honors from college and has such deep faith in Jesus it's beautiful to watch as she grows up!!!!!! Thank you, Little Flower.

@meg61858 I think your daughter's namesake is watching over her and blessing her!

Blessings to everyone on this Oct. 1.

What a BEAUTIFUL video!!!!Thank you, thank you, thank you! In 1966,I went to school in Paris and visited Les Buissonets & Lisieux-I always thought St. Therese was ok, but not relevant to my life. I walked around her home, looking @ her personal items & froze when I saw her math &geography books. OMG-she was REAL.!This wasn't some nebulous ethereal being-she had been real and had to go to school, fix her hair, clean her room. Then @ the Carmel, I saw her chestnut hair!St. Therese sure shut me up!

[amiedetherese]

@siobhansmommy That is very beautiful commentary about Therese and the Carmel, les Buissonets. Her hair is displayed now in the bedroom of her healing at les Buissonets because it is part of her early life. In recent years the Carmel has allowed many amazing things to be displayed in a yearly exhibit at St Jacques.

@amiedetherese St. Therese gave me an unsolicited gift years ago. My dearest Mother was dying very slowly from heart diseases. She asked me to take her home;I am a nurse & the Doctor warned me it would be difficult. I told him the truth-I would do anything for her to give her peace & comfort. I was prepared for her death but when it came for her on 16 July, I was distraught. My priest said this was the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel-it brought such comfort to me.A spiritual rose from Therese!

Thank you for sharing this video with us...

I also would like to visit the tomb of St. Therese, but it is utterly impossible at the moment given my own circumstances; however, I am not giving up on the hope that one day, I can see with my own two eyes this beautiful place and walk where St. Therese once did. Thank you!

[amiedetherese]

@iwrite4money Don't give up hope for going in the future! St Therese can work miracles! God bless!

@2609802751 I don't know the name of the artist, it would be a nun playing zither.

[singing4hope]

what did the convent look like before it was renovated? 

[amiedetherese]

@singing4hope If you look at my video "Pilgrimage visit to St Therese and her family" you will see what the convent looked like before renovation.

I am surprised to watch this video...so shocking for me...and also that she was painter, as I am her twin, and I am painter... shocking!

It's sad to see that the Carmel remodeled according to modernist architecture. Anyone who has seen the previous altars sees the loss, not only in beauty, but in reverence.  It looks more like a Protestant worship place.

That being said; thank you very much for posting this video. It was really neat for us "armchair travelers" to get to see some of it.

[dacatholicbandorgan]

I aggre, at the very least, they should have kept the Altar as it was beacuase of the historical significane of how St.Therese would assist at Mass (the Tridentine naturally).

[charlieocarm]

What a marvelous experience it was to watch and listen to this video. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[dacatholicbandorgan]

Did you get premission from Rome to enter?

[amiedetherese]

None of the photos were taken inside the enclosed area of the nuns, all these areas are available for pilgrims to see. One does not ask for permission to enter through Rome, one would ask the prioress and it is hardly ever allowed.

[ApocalyptiGirl]

wow, that really was incredible! It was very clear and wonderfully done -- BRAVO!!! St. Therese (known here as "Little Sweetie") would be proud!

[dacatholicbandorgan]

Not to be critical but I think St.Therese would would have a massive heart attack if she saw the chapel today. I mean really, at least from a historical point of view, but mine is more Eucharistic.

Gracias por permitirnos viajar en el tiempo y en la distancia y asi sentir mas cerca a Santa Teresita

[ickiepoo]

So beautiful! Thank you for posting this.

[amiedetherese]

Seeing the public part of the Carmel as it is now, remodeled, would come as quite a "surprise" to many pilgrims who had visited it in the past. The side altars are gone in the chapel and the relic room is very modern with the concrete walls. The chapel is much more a monastic chapel now with the focus strictly on Jesus.
