Stronger Than Steel
Soldiers of the Great War Write to Therese of Lisieux
In the seventeen years between her death in 1897 and the outbreak of World War I, the fame of Thérèse of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face had spread widely: her autobiography ‘The Story of a Soul’ was hugely popular, and soldiers carried around holy cards, medals, and relics. This remarkable collection of letters from (mostly French) soldiers fighting in the Great War and enduring its abysmal horrors are astonishing and moving testimonies of how Thérèse appeared to them or spoke to them when invoked – how she miraculously protected them from “showers of iron and fire,” delivered them from precipitous danger, healed them when doctors despaired, and encouraged them in the trials of battle.

The Incorruptibles
Joan Carroll Cruz The bodies of saints that did not undergo decomposition after death are described as “incorrupt”.
