      St. Thérèse of Lisieux

      If God grants my desires, my Heaven will be spent on earth until the end of time. Yes, I will spend my Heaven doing good on earth....I will return! I will come down!

      St. Thérèse is one of the most powerful Saints of the Twentieth Century. We have never prayed for the intercession of another Saint who lived so close to our time. She died in 1897 at the age of twenty four, and was canonized in 1925. When she died, she was virtually unknown, even in her own Community.

      Within two years of her death, the power of her intercession began to be felt all over Europe. Prayers and novenas were made to her for favors, which were answered in abundance, usually preceded by the reception of a flower. She called herself the Little Flower of Jesus, a name which has remained with her until today. The swiftness of time in which devotion to this Saint grew, would be called in secular terms, a phenomena. We call it a Miracle.

      On March 15, 1907, Pope St. Pius X, in a private conversation, called her The greatest Saint of modern times. This statement, made ten years after her death, from a man who would himself be raised to the Communion of Saints, is a great tribute to the little Carmelite that no one had known at the time of her death.

      A year later in the Vatican, the Prefect of the Congregation of Rites, Cardinal Vico, stated, We must lose no time in crowning the little Saint with glory, if we do not want the voice of the people to anticipate us. He was about eight years too late. People began calling Thérèse a Saint as early as two years after her death.

      The power of intercession given to Thérèse was undeniable. Truly, her prophecy made towards the end of her life, God will have to do my will in Heaven, because I have never done my own will on earth, was coming about. Within a short twenty eight years after her death, in 1925, the little cloistered Carmelite was proclaimed St. Thérèse.

      Penny and I didn’t know very much about St. Thérèse in 1976. We were sort of roped into devotion to this coquettish Saint. Penny was born a few years after the canonization of St. Thérèse; although she was christened Pauline and not Thérèse, her mother, who had been caught up in the growing devotion to the new Saint, gave St. Thérèse to Penny as a patron Saint. We still have a statue of the Saint in our home, which was given to Penny as a child.

      In 1976, I finally convinced Penny to go to Europe. I had been trying to get her to go for years, but she never wanted to leave the United States. Finally, she agreed to go on a Pilgrimage. We had just come back to the Church the year before, and were hungry for anything that had to do with Church. So, we went off to Europe and the Holy Land; visiting Rome, Lourdes, Fatima, Assisi and all the Shrines in the Holy Land. I had planned three days in Paris at the end
