Feast of Saint Therese

Today is the feast (in the new calendar) of Saint Therese of Lisieux, the “Little Flower of Jesus,” a Carmelite nun. She died at the young age of 24 and has received the extraordinary honor of “Doctor of the Church” for her writings. She is one of only 4 women to have been given this distinction.

Saint Therese, Pray for Us!
