Description
IN my University days a friend drew my attention to the cult of the “Little Flower” then spreading at a rapid rate throughout the world. Marie Therese, she said, had obtained many favours for her.
I prayed to the Saint and was cured of a condition which my doctor had assured me would require an operation.
Some years later, when travelling abroad, I met an American Protestant gentleman who had a child-like devotion to the Saint. Threatened with total blindness, he had recourse to her, and was favoured with an alleviation of his state. He could observe a hand passed before the face and was even able to distinguish one’s features dimly. Poor, pathetic man! Fate seemed to throw him in my way. After our first meeting in London, I met him again, quite accidentally, in Paris. What was really touching in his case was his whole-souled tender devotion to his protectress whom he looked upon as a sister.
