In order to compose his octave of devotion, Fr. Dolan traveled in 1924 to France: to Normandy’s Alencon, where St. Thérèse was born, to her family home in Buissonnets, to the Carmel at Lisieux, and to other French towns. Then, he went to Rome, where he and Pope Pius XI had a mutually productive discussion of his apostolate to make the “Little Way” of the Little Flower better known in homes and monasteries in America. At the Carmelite convent he was blessed by priceless interviews with St. Thérèse’s 3 sisters (who were nuns there), and one of her teachers. At Caen, he visited a fourth sister, who had joined the Visitation Order. in fact one-third of this book is dedicated to these precious recollections gathered from her living siblings, while one of the monographs (Book Five), is completely devoted to the Little Flower’s saintly mother Zelie, who died when Thérèse was only 4 years old.
