Her bed was not yet placed in the middle of the hospital, but in the back corner. For tomorrow's feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord – August 6, we took the Holy Face from the choir, which Teresa loved very much, and we hung the frame, adorned with flowers and lights, on the wall to her right. She looked at the image and said to me:
“How well our Lord did to lower His eyes when He gave us His image! After all, the eyes are the mirror of the soul; if we were to guess His soul, we would die from joy.”
(Teresa of Lisieux, Last Conversations)
