The Little Flower
"The Little Flower" is a nickname for Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, a French nun known for her simple and profound spirituality. Born in 1873, she entered the Carmelite Order at a young age and dedicated her life to God. Thérèse is famous for her "little way," which emphasizes doing small acts of love and kindness with great devotion.
Her autobiography, titled "Story of a Soul," details her life and spiritual journey. Thérèse passed away in 1897 at the age of 24, but her teachings continue to inspire many. She was canonized as a saint in 1925 and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1997.
