Saint Thérèse
“Saints never grow old,
they never become figures of the past,
men and women of “yesterday”.
On the contrary, they are always
men and women of the future,
witnesses of the world to come.”
- Pope John Paul II – Lisieux, 1980
“My way is all trust and love.”
- St Therese of Lisieux (The Little Flower)

Prayer to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

God our Father,
you promised your kingdom
to those who are willing to become like little children.
Help us to follow the way of St. Thérèse with confidence
so that by her prayers we may come to know your eternal glory.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
