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.

Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor

Thanks to St Therese, the entire Church has found again the whole simplicity and freshness of the cry,
ABBA, FATHER,
which has its origins and its source in the heart of Christ himself.
