St. Thérèse of Lisieux

St. Thérèse of Lisieux

“I know now that true charity consists in bearing all of our neighbors’ defects—not being surprised at their weakness, but edified at their smallest virtues. Above all I know that charity must not remain shut up in the heart, for ‘No man lighteth a candle, and putteth it in a hidden place, nor under a bushel; but upon a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.’” (St. Thérèse of Lisieux — of the Child Jesus, Virgin and Doctor of the Church, Story of a Soul)


October 1 is the Memorial of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, Virgin and Doctor of the Church (1873-1897)
