Saint Therese of Lisieux is one of the most popular and well known saints, having been canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1925. From Normandy in France, Therese was a Carmelite nun, answering the call at only fifteen and followed a simple and practical spiritual life. She contracted tuberculosis at the age of 24 and passed away.
Saint Therese is commonly known as "The Little Flower of Jesus" who lived her life quietly but became well known posthumously because of her spiritual autobiography.
Thanks for the feedback! That’s an interesting point. I suppose there are many reasons, internal and external, why we do not accomplish all that we might. Regardless, I am thankful for the Lord’s grace in that. Thanks again!
I didn’t have any expectations concerning that title, but the more I was astonished. The author did a great job. I spent a few minutes reading and checking the facts. Everything is very clear and understandable. I like posts that fill in your knowledge gaps. This one is of the sort.
