St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Virgin, Doctor of the Church, "The Little Flower of Jesus", Co-Patroness of the Missions
A cloistered Carmelite nun who died at 24 having never left her convent or done anything the world would call remarkable, Thérèse became one of the most beloved and influential saints of modern times through her 'Little Way' — doing the smallest ordinary acts with total love and total trust in God's mercy.
