Thérèse of Lisieux (Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus)

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as Thérèse of the Child Jesus, was a 19th-century French Carmelite nun renowned for her deep faith and simple approach to spirituality. She believed in "little ways"— small acts of love and trust—instead of grand gestures, showing that everyday kindness and humility can be divine. Her writings, especially "Story of a Soul," emphasize love, patience, and reliance on God's grace. Canonized in 1925, she is regarded as a saint who teaches that living with love and trust in God, even through small acts, can lead to extraordinary holiness.
