ST. THERESA AND THE CHILD

"WHO art thou, son?" The little stranger smiled,
"And who art thou?" Whereto she made reply,
"Theresa I of Jesus am, my child."
He—radiant—"Jesus of Theresa I."

TRADITION

WHEN home our blessed Lord was gone,
His mother lived alone with John;
For each had secrets to impart
That Love had taught them both by heart.
