“In the evening of this life, I shall appear before you with empty hands, for I do not ask you, Lord, to count my works. All our justice is stained in your eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed in your own Justice and to receive from your Love the eternal possession of yourself”. (St Teresa of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face) (Cited by Pope Francis, "C'est la confiance," [10 Oct 2023] 3)
'Therese never uses the expression, common enough in her day, “I will become a saint”.' ("C'est la confiance," 20)
'she has been recognized by UNESCO as one of the most significant figures for contemporary humanity.' ("C'est la confiance," 4)
