Frequently asked questions

  • What is the historical context of these conversations?

    These conversations offer a unique window into the final months of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux's life, providing direct insight into her spiritual reflections and physical suffering as she battled tuberculosis. They were meticulously recorded by her sisters, offering a raw and unvarnished account of her 'little way' doctrine in practice during her last days.

  • How does this book relate to Saint Thérèse's other writings?

    This collection serves as a crucial companion to her autobiography, 'Story of a Soul,' offering a more immediate and less edited perspective on her spirituality. While 'Story of a Soul' was written over time, 'Derniers entretiens' captures her spontaneous thoughts and teachings as she neared death, providing a different dimension to her well-known spiritual legacy.
