St. Therese of Lisieux Feast Day

Over the years we have learned so much from Lucy's nameday saint. St. Therese's words of wisdom and love are so simple but so deeply powerful. In light of our efforts this month to promote healthier homes and environments we can't think of a better patron saint to intercede on behalf of our small efforts....

"St. Therese loved nature, and often used the imagery of nature to explain how the Divine Presence is everywhere, and how everything is connected in God's loving care and arms. Therese saw herself as "the Little Flower of Jesus" because she was just like the simple wild flowers in forests and fields, unnoticed by the greater population, yet growing and giving glory to God. Therese did not see herself as a brilliant rose or an elegant lily, by simply as a small wild flower. This is how she understood herself before the Lord - simple and hidden, but blooming where God had planted her."... Society of the Little Flower
