Therese of Lisieux

Therese of Lisieux, also known as Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, was a French Carmelite nun who lived from 1873 to 1897. Renowned for her humility and spiritual depth, she emphasized "the Little Way"—finding holiness through small acts of love and kindness in everyday life. Despite her brief life, her writings have inspired many, highlighting that doing simple, sincere acts can lead to deep spiritual fulfillment. She was canonized as a saint in 1925 and is considered a patroness of missions and of those seeking spiritual guidance.
