Saint Therese of the Child Jesus:
An Echo of the Heart of God

Filmed on location in France, it gives her whole story through interviews, dramatizations, examination of her writings and long visits to her home and inside the Carmelite monastery at Lisieux. Although pilgrims are not permitted inside the enclosure, viewers of this film can see the places where Therese lived and died.  Carmelite friar Bishop Guy Gaucher, the great Theresian scholar and the general editor of the critical edition of Therese's writings, offers commentary.  90 minutes.
