Remembering St Therese of Liseux on her feast day


It is the feast of our beloved saint, St Therese of Lisieux on 1 Oct (Children's Day) but in some websites her feast day falls on 3 Oct...whichever is correct let us remember this great saint that God has given to us.

St Therese died of Tuberculosis on 30 Sept in 1897 at the age 24..wrote her one and only autobiography Story of a Soul. This saint is indeed a very special one to me for she has thought me the little ways to daily holiness. You don't have to do great things to be stay in the path of holiness. All it takes is just small insignificant ways and give thanks to God and in through this little ways stay the path of holiness.
St Therese of Lisieux...pray for us and grant us ample graces to live this life meaningfully and pleasing to God.
I thank God for France for if there is no France we do not have great saints like St Bernadette, St Therese, St Joan of Arc etc etc.
