St. Therese of Lisieux Comments

Generations of Catholics have admired this young saint, called her the "Little Flower", and found in her short life more inspiration for own lives than in volumes by theologians. Yet Therese died when she was 24, after having lived as cloistered Carmelite for less than ten years. She never went on missions, never founded a religious order, never performed great works. The only book of hers, published after her death, was an brief ... Continue Reading

    I love St. Terese's "little way" to sainthood because it inspires me to keep on doing everything even if it feels insignificant.

    I am currently writing an essay for my Sunday School. I need to choose 5 Saints, including my Saint Name, Theresa. Does anyone have any ideas on which Saints I should write about? Thanks :)

    I've read many books on her and never has it been said that Pauline asked Therese to remain a novice.It was Therese who asked to remain with the novices.

    All my life I have loved her and her simplicity; her unique tenderness to our Lord. Many upon many blessings of flowers have been bestowed on me and my family. I love the fact that our Dear Lord loves simple, pure acts almost as much or more than mighty miracles. This I will always adore, believe and profess. In the name of Christ the Child Savior of us all. +...

    Our classroom's patron saint is St. Therese.
    And every morning we pray a St. Therese prayer..
    It goes like this....

    "St. Therese the little flower give me a rose from the heavenly garden. And send it to me with a message of love.
    Ask God to grant me the favor I implore tell him I will love him each day more and more.
    Most blessed trinity Father, Son and the Holy Spirit I ask you through the merits of St. Therese of the Child Jesus during the 24 years of her earthly life to obtain for me through her intercession this grace..
    Glory Be...."

    This is such an inspiring and uplifting story! I have been feeling so small and insignificant - I am so afraid to be a parasite - because I have severe chronic health problems. I feel like I can do so little good... It's so nice to hear such a story about how the little things matter! Thank you for putting this up :)
