28 Additional Statues on Eden Hill A. Saint Thérèse of Lisieux —Saint Faustina writes in her Diary, entry 150, about how, during a difficult time, she prayed a novena to St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, who then appeared to her in a dream. Saint Thérèse revealed to St. Faustina that she would, indeed, become a saint, and that in three days the difficulty she was facing would come to a happy conclusion. Three days later, it came to pass as St. Thérèse had said. Saint Thérèse wrote a consecration to Divine Mercy, which Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, calls “the culmination of her whole spiritual teaching on the Little Way, the crowning of her path to holiness, and ... the most powerful form of consecration to Divine Mercy.” Pilgrims may venerate a first-class relic of St. Thérèse encased in the kneeler in St. Joseph Chapel inside the Shrine.
