Further thoughts - "The Story of a Soul".

When I was reading through sections from the Council of Trent a few months ago, they had this section against the Reformers, where the Council clearly stated that certainty of salvation is granted to no one -- no one, that is, except the rare circumstance of certain great saints who have been granted knowledge of salvation. I wonder if Ste. Therese of Lisieux is now considered among these, since she knew that the grace given her of all-consuming divine love burned up her sins beyond the degree that even purgatory would.
