Today, we celebrate one of the most beloved members of the community of saints - Therese of the Child Jesus (1873 - 1897). She was a cloistered Carmelite nun who lived in the cloister in rural France and who died at a very young age. She is a Doctor of the Church and a patron saint of the missions and very beloved by many of the faithful. We remember her today.
“For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.”
― Thérèse de Lisieux
