As a child, Therese was quite a spoiled little girl, being the baby of the family. However, as she grew into her teens she realized that God was calling her to a special life. With help from Pope Leo XIII she was able to enter the Carmelite Convent at Lisieux, France, at the age of 15. She took her final vows at age 17. Despite her previously pampered life, she adjusted well to the austerities of the Carmelite rule. Due to health problems resulting from her ongoing fight with tuberculosis, her superiors ordered her not to fast. She was also ordered to write her memories and ideas, which material would turn into the book History of a Soul. Therese defined her path to God and holiness as The Little Way, which consisted of childlike love and trust in God. Soon her health problems forced her to bed where she suffered greatly during the final stages of tuberculosis. She did not complain but totally accepted everything as the will of God. Therese died on September 30, 1897, at Lisieux, France, and was canonized on May 17, 1925, by Pope Pius XI.
