Saint Therese of the Child Jesus

1 October , Saint Therese of the Child Jesus

 

When Therese was eight years old she was cured because of the intercession of our Lady.

When Therese was still very young she did kind little deeds for everyone. She prepared for her First Holy Communion by making many little sacrifices. She became a very special friend of Jesus.  She once said, “From the age of three, I never refused our good God anything. I have never given him anything but love.”

Therese entered the Carmelite convent at the age of fifteen. She wanted to save souls, and to help priests save souls, by prayer, sacrifice, and suffering. Her “Little Way” means loving and trusting in God as a child.

When she was dying, Therese pressed her crucifix to her heart and, looking up to heaven she said: “I love Him! My God, I love You!” She was only twenty-four years old when she died in October 1, 1897.

Saint Therese is the patroness of the foreign missions.

 

We ask You Jesus to give us the grace to be more like the saints.

 From the Book of Saints - by Father Lovasik.
