Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, also known as Thérèse Lisieux, was born on January 2, 1873, in France, into a deeply religious family.
From a young age, he declared a great love for Jesus and, at the age of 15, he entered the Carmelite convent in Lisieux, where he lived until his death.
Despite her short life, she died at the age of 24, on September 30, 1897, a victim of tuberculosis. Her simple spirituality, based on the small path of humility and total trust in God, made her one of the most beloved saints of the Catholic Church.
She was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1997 for her spiritual wisdom. Her autobiography, “Story of a Soul,” continues to inspire faith around the world.
Devotion to Saint Therese of the Child Jesus is marked by her absolute trust in God and her "little way" of humility and simplicity.
Saint Therese teaches us that by performing small daily gestures with love and faith, we can draw closer to the heart of God.
His example of living spirituality in a simple yet profound way has inspired millions of people around the world to seek holiness in their daily lives.
Teresa is one of the 'little ones' of the Gospel who allow themselves to be led by God into the depths of his mystery.
A guide for everyone, especially for those who, in the People of God, carry out the ministry of theologians.
With humility and charity, faith and hope, Teresa continually enters into the heart of Sacred Scripture which contains the Mystery of Christ. Pope Benedict XVI.
