Abstract
Abstract
Saint Thérèse underwent a deep personal encounter with the thirst of Jesus, an experience which intensified her love for Him and established a certain change of direction in her life. The experience was initiated by God, and the result was a lasting change in her soul. Saint Thérèse encountered Jesus’ «I thirst» from the cross as a word of life. She listened to it, she took it to heart, and in her life it yielded fruit a hundredfold (cf. Mk 4,20). Thérèse’s encounter with Jesus’ thirst and the significance it played in her spiritual life is the subject of the present article.
