St. Thérèse of Lisieux HD

Описание: St. Thérèse, also known as the “Little Flower” lived a short, but blessed life as a Carmelite nun in France. Her prayerful and humble devotion has made her an inspiration to millions of people around the world.

Born in 1873 to religious parents, Thérèse lost her mother at the age of four. Thérèse was very emotional as a child and was often overwhelmed with emotion. A word of criticism or a small loss could send her into tears. Thérèse prayed for Jesus to stop these outbursts and she eventually developed an incredible force of will.

Asking to enter the convent at age 14, she was rejected. Unsatisfied, St. Thérèse went to the bishop, and eventually to Rome where she attempted to ask the Pope for his intervention. The Vicar General recognized her effort and intervened. Although young, Thérèse was admitted to the convent.

While in the convent, she experienced loss and physical suffering. Despite these difficulties, she remained steadfast in her devotion to Christ and her sisters, and she never complained.

Thérèse developed tuberculosis and realized she was soon to die. Her suffering was so great her doctor could not believe it. Thérèse explained that it was impossible for her to suffer, because suffering had become sweet to her.

When her body was exhumed in 1910, it was said to smell sweetly of the Odor of Sanctity. She was canonized in 1925. St. Thérèse continues to intervene for those who suffer. Her devotion, “The Little Way” and her autobiography. “Story of a Soul” are among the most popular Catholic books in the world.
