This book is in Portuguese.

The fifty-four poems of Thérèse (PN 1–54), written between 1893 and 1897 for community feasts, for her sisters and for her spiritual brothers, from “Living on Love” to “Why I Love You, O Mary”, followed by the eight supplementary poems (PS 1–8). The authentic text of the Centenary edition, from the archives of the Carmel of Lisieux.

Contents

Source: Thérèse's text only. The editors' apparatus is left out: the "Datation" and "Destinataire" notes under each poem, the links to the facsimiles and to a theology thesis on PN 17, the "Refr. N" cross-references before the refrains, and the "Synopse" pages, which set the 1898 retouched versions beside the authentic ones. Strophe numbers are normalised to bold. The 1898 retouched versions are not included.
