In October 1895 a young seminarian and subdeacon of the White Fathers, Abb* Belli*re, asked the Carmel of Lisieux for a nun who would support -- by prayer and sacrifice -- his missionary work, and the souls that were in the future to be entrusted to him. Mother Agnes designated Th*r*se. She never met Father Belli*re but ten letters passed between them.
