Adoration in the chapel of Saint Thérèse

With them, let's delve deeper the mystery that Thérèse sang about :
“My Heaven is hidden in the little Host, where Jesus, my Spouse, veils Himself in love. From this Divine Hearth I draw life, and there my Sweet Savior listens to me night and day. Oh! What a happy moment when, in Your tenderness, You come, my Beloved, to transform me into You. This union of love, this ineffable rapture, that is my Heaven!…”

The first Friday of each month, at 20:30 p.m., a vigil of adoration and prayer is organized to entrust to Saints Louis and Zélie, as well as to Saint Thérèse, all the intentions that are deposited or sent to the sanctuary.
These intentions are placed in the cradle of Saint Teresa's birth room.
(Chapel of the Martin Family Home)
