A “circular” is a short biography of a nun who passes away and it is sent to other monasteries of the order. In St. Therese’s case, hers went around and once it was sent out to lay people it gained popularity and there became a great demand among the laity who wanted to read her “Story of a Soul”.
This circular is on Sr. Marie of the Sacred Heart, St. Therese’s blood sister and who was her Carmelite sister in the Lisieux Carmel.
To read this circular on Sr. Marie, go to Circular of Sr Marie of the Sacred Heart, which is at the website of the Archives of the Carmel of Lisieux.
