Thérèse of Lisieux

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (1873-1897), the "Little Flower of Jesus," was a French Catholic sister of the Order of Discalced Carmelites known for her Story of a Soul. She was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1925 and declared Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II in 1997.


Everything is a grace because everything is God's gift. Whatever be the character of life or its unexpected events--to the heart that loves, all is well.

We must see life in its true light.... It is an instant between two eternities. Let us suffer in peace!

You ask me for a method of obtaining perfection. I know of Love and Love only! Our hearts are made for this alone.

You cannot be half a saint, you must be a whole saint or no saint at all.
