Thérèse's illness at 10 years old

In 1882, Pauline, whom she had chosen as a second mother, entered the Carmel. Thérèse was very affected by this and, at the end of the year, fell seriously ill. Headaches, faintness, hallucinations: his family is very worried and prays to Notre-Dame des Victoires. THE 13th May 1883, the day of Pentecost, Marie, Léonie and Céline turn to the statue of the Virgin placed near Thérèse's bed. Thérèse also prays, and then sees the Virgin smiling at her: she is definitively healed.
