Thérèse of Lisieux
Aka Marie Françoise-Thérèse Martin
Aka the little flower of Jesus
Was a french carmelite sister
She was born in Alençon
As the youngest daughter of 9 children
After the dead of her mother aged 4
The family moved to Lisieux
At the age of 15
She joined two of her sisters
And entered the Carmel of Lisieux
Her life was one of devotion and service
Small acts of charity and help for others
She did not see herself as a great soul
Just a little flower in Gods garden
Her little way
Doing all things
with love for God and mankind
She died at age 24
One of the most popular saints
of the 20th century
For her sainthood is simple
And so easy to follow
Her parents were canonized in 2004
Biblical reading
Lk 9: 46-48
An argument arose among the disciples about which of them was the greatest. Jesus realized the intention of their hearts and took a child and placed it by his side and said to them’
“Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. For the one who is least among all of you
is the one who is the greatest.”
Prayer
OFFERING OF THE DAY WRITTEN BY ST THÉRÈSE
My Lord, I offer You all the actions I did today,
for the intentions and the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus;
I would like to sanctify the beating of my heart, my thoughts
and my most simple work by joining them to His most infinite merits,
to repair my faults by throwing them in the blaze of His Merciful Love.
O my God I ask You for myself and for those I love for
the grace to accomplish perfectly Your holy wish,
to accept for Your Love the joys and pains of this passage that is life
so that one day we can be reunited in Heaven for all eternity.
