O divine Sun!
I am happy to feel so small and weak in thy presence,
and my heart is at peace.

St Therese is a saint for everybody, not just for Catholics. Many Christians of other Churches are strongly drawn to her, and her message, which is simply the Gospel of Christ for our times, has the power to help those of any faith or none. It is my prayer and hope that the visit of her Relics will be a great blessing to many people in England and Wales and to our entire country.
