A beam of light played upon the holy font and illumined the sleeping face of Marie Francoise Therese. "I baptixe thee in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." At these words ol the French cure, God smiled and welcomed our patroness into the realm of the supernatural. That light was apparently subdued for a time by the log of a sinful world. But as Therese grew and the life and gifts of the Holy Ghost attained their lull development in her, again and again the fog was pierced: By the first childish manifestations of her little ways: by her early entry into Carmel: by the manner ot living which she crystallized as her Little Way: and by her premature and anxious- ly awaited death. ln a somewhat allegorical manner we, the graduates, attempt to bring you in this volume our little actions, guided by her light and blessed in her Way. For, il we are pro- perly motivated and follow her path, one day we, too, shall approach perfection and whisper as St. Therese did, "My way is sure-I am not mistaken." THE LIGHT OF HER LOVE-guides us along HER LITTLE WAY-simple yet' strong. 1 2 .3 X! ...I ,p x ,I X I N -,' A s i.
