Thérèse of Lisieux
Also known as
Memorial
Profile
Born
to a pious middle-class French family of tradesmen; daughter of Blessed Louis
Martin and Blessed Marie-Azelie Guérin Martin, and all four of
her sisters became nuns. Her mother died when
Francoise-Marie was only four, and the family moved to Lisieux, Normandy, France to
be closer to family. Cured from an illness at age eight
when a statue of the Blessed Virgin smiled at her. Educated by
the Benedictine nuns of Notre-Dame-du-Pre. Confirmed there
at age eleven. Just before her 14th birthday she received a vision of
the Child Jesus; she immediately understood the great sacrifice that had been
made for her, and developed an unshakeable faith. Tried to join the Carmelites,
but was turned down due to her age. Pilgrim to Rome, Italy at
for the Jubilee of Pope Leo XIII whom she met and who knew of
her desire to become a nun. Joined the Carmelites at Lisieux
on 9 April 1888 at age 15, taking her final vow on 8
September 1890 at age 17. Known by all for her complete devotion to
spiritual development and to the austerities of the Carmelite rule.
Due to health problems resulting from her ongoing fight with tuberculosis,
her superiors ordered her not to fast. Novice mistress at age 20. At age
22 she was ordered by her prioress to begin writing her memories and
ideas, which material would turn into the book History of a Soul. Therese defined her path to God and
holiness as The Little Way,
which consisted of child-like love and trust in God. She had an on-going
correspondence with Carmelite missionaries in China, often
stating how much she wanted to come work with them. Many miracles attributed
to her. Declared a Doctor of the Church in 1997 by Pope John
Paul II.
