October 1: the Feast of St. Teresa of Lisieux: the Little Flower



Terese Martin died on Sept 30, 1897 of tuberculosis in the Carmel of Lisieux at the age of 24. She is the patron saint of missions, florists and of the country of France.



To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul. It is Jesus alone who can give such value to our actions. Let us then love Him with all our heart. (St. Terese of Lisieux)

Twenty five years ago I was out walking and noticed somethng lying on the ground reflecting the sun's light. It was a St. Terese medallion which I carry in my pocketbook to this day.
