Happy Feast of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

Shrine of the Little Flower in the church.

Happy feast of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite nun and Doctor of the Church.

“Holiness consists simply in doing God's will, and being just what God wants us to be.”

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, known as 'the Little Flower', was born in 1873 and died in 1897. She became a Carmelite nun when she was fifteen, and inspired many through her "Little Way" of simplicity and in the doing of small acts inspired by love.

The shrine at Faversham is rather unusual, because instead of presenting St. Thérèse, standing in isolated intercession and favour, she is linked up with Our Blessed Lady of Mount Carmel and the Holy Child. The roses which she distributes come to her from the Holy Child by favour of Our Blessed Lady. In other words, the Shrine links up St. Thérèse of Lisieux with Our Blessed Lady of Mount Carmel and the Holy Child.

Saint Thérèse, pray for us.

Why not join the society dedicated to the Little Flower? We also have a number of items for Saint Thérèse.

Our novena to the Little Flower finishes today. You can pray the novena in private, with your friends or family, or in a group. Our novena can be viewed here.
