Today is the Feast of St. Teresa of Lisieux, the Little Flower. She has inspired millions since her death in 1897, and was declared a Doctor of the Church, by the late Pope John Paul 11, in 1997. Her autobiography is inspirational, The Story of a Soul. Why not order a copy on Amazon, www.amazon.co.uk Veritas www.veritas.ie or ask for a copy in The Cathedral Bookshop? On the 19th October her parents Louis and Zélie Martin will be beatified in Lisieux, a fitting honour to a wonderful couple who set about to raise a family of saints. In 2001 the Relics of Saint Thérése visited Ireland, and their arrival in Galway was a moment to be remembered for all of us who were there.
