At least 500 people venerated the writing-desk of St. Therese after the 5:15 p.m. Mass in the crypt of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. on October 3, 2013.

Tomorrow the desk returns to the Discalced Carmelite nuns, Therese's own order, at their monastery in St. Louis.
