St Thérèse of Lisieux and the influenza pandemic of 1892

Sister Therese of the Child Jesus, novice, 1889

Saint Therese of Lisieux also lived through a sudden and deadly pandemic in 1891-1892.  In 2020, what can we learn from how she responded?

St. Therese lived through a severe influenza epidemic.  Erupting in 1889, it circled the globe in only four months.  During its second recurrence, it reached the Carmel of Lisieux at the end of 1891. Of the 25 Carmelites, the three oldest died within six days. Only the three youngest, including Therese, remained on their feet.
