“For me, prayer is a burst from my heart, it is a simple glance toward Heaven, a cry of thanksgiving and love in times of trial as well as in times of joy”. — Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
Thérèse of Lisieux was canonized in 1925. On October 19, 1997, Pope John Paul II proclaimed her a Doctor of the Church, the third woman to be so recognized in light of her holiness and the influence of her teaching on spirituality in the Church.
Her parents, Louis and Zélie, were beatified in 2008 and canonized in 2015.
She is the Patron Saint of florists, missionaries, pilots and priests.
