Therese of Lisieux - Doctor of the Church - Carmelite Nun - feast day - October 1




Therese of Lisieux - the little flower  -  is one of the most beloved saints in our Catholic faith.  I love this quote of hers from a morning prayer that she wrote.  Her spirituality is so straight-forward and understandable - I think that is one of the reasons Therese is so popular.  “O my God! I offer you all my actions of this day for the intentions and for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart, my every thought, my simplest works, by uniting them to Its infinite merits; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them into the furnace of Its merciful love.”
