The following link gives a short description of the devotion St Therese had for the Holy Face of Jesus, written by the Carmelites of Boston: Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus
The following is from the depositions for the process of her beatification:
'The Holy Face was the mirror in which Therese saw the soul and heart of her Beloved. The Holy Face was the meditation book from which she drew her signs of love.
She had an image of it always before her in her office book and in her stall during her prayer. There was a copy attached to the curtains of her bed during her illness; the sight of it helped her to endure her long martyrdom.'
I am a Daughter of the Church, P. Marie-Eugene, OCD, V, p 436
