Last Words

Epilogue·Manuscript C·Death & Heaven
Context
September 30, 1897. Thérèse was twenty-four years old. After months of tuberculosis, darkness, and suffering offered with love, her final words were the simplest possible: a declaration of love. She died looking at her crucifix.

I am not dying, I am entering into life.

My God, I love Thee!
