Ste Thérèse of Lisieux

Today is the feast of Ste Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, the Little Flower of Carmel, Doctor of the Universal Church.

"I  have  never  given  the  Good  God  aught  but  love;  it  is  with  Love He will repay. AFTER MY DEATH I WILL LET FALL A SHOWER OF ROSES."

"I  feel  that  my  mission  is  soon  to  begin—my  mission  to  make  others  love God as I love Him . . . to each souls my little way.  I WILL SPEND MY HEAVEN IN DOING GOOD UPON EARTH."

Last year, I wrote a review of the 'Story of a Soul', an autobiography in her own words and poems. I used my own beautifully illustrated French edition of this work. Please see:

Ste Thérèse, if it be God's will, I pray that you may intercede in favour of this little corner of Carmel, as you have in so many other ways.
