St. Theresa the Little Flower
1873-1897

Therese Martin entered the Carmelite convent in Lisieux at the age of 15. Her superiors asked her to write an account of her life. As a result, The Story of a Soul is one of the most widely read spiritual autobiographies.

Theresa was canonized in 1925. She is the patron saint of foreign missionaries and aviators, and - with Joan of Arc - she is the patron saint of France.
Her feast day is October 3.

She is also known as St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Theresa of the Child Jesus, St. Theresa of the Infant Jesus, and the Little Flower of Jesus.

Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts, neither intelligence nor talents.
He cherishes simplicity.
- Saint Therese of Lisieux
