St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Caroline Medina
St. Therese of Lisieux has always been one of my favorite saints since I was young because my best friend was names after her. I was having a conversation with friends recently about why God creates bad things and I would now encourafe them to read this article because St. Therese has such a simple way of explaining the most complex things. I have always admired St. Therese for her not so popular “little way.”

I’d never heard of St. Therese of Lisieux, who lived her life with such grace and beauty. The fact that she knew her life would be short and, instead of reacting negatively and unwillingly, chose a life of prayer and worship is truly inspiring. The fear of death is something I know I definitely have, so reading about her positive reaction and approach to it makes me feel more hopeful and comforted. I’m now more interested in learning about her death and if she accepted her last moments, seeing as she had embraced the idea earlier in her life.

I don’t think if I was that young and got a vision that I would die not to far from today that I would remain calm. Eventually maybe I would accept this but I know for sure I would question why at first. That has to show the level of faith St. Therese had toward God. This was a really well made article and it showed all the good things St. Therese did before she died at such a young age. This was a good read and I look forward to more articles.

There’s a specific line in your article that mentioned how Therese said that “each and every soul born on earth is to be a saint.” This specific line has made me wonder if we have had or will have someone who will eventually be considered a saint in our century. Before reading your article, I had never heard of Therese of Lisieux. So, I wonder if there has been someone in the 21st century that has been given this fruitful title and I haven’t heard of them.

I find this article to be a most enjoyable one to read due to the fact that during the time of my own conformation in the catholic faith I knew some women who took Thérèse of Lisieux as their conformation saint and because of that we learned about her in our classes and this article does a great job in covering the works done by her and her movement. I also like the detail about the man who was set to become a priest and how she asked him to pray for her and he did and how this small event started her movement and even some could say her own philosophical take on God and Catholicism.

St. Therese of Lisieux has a very interesting story. It would be scary to know that your life would soon and the fact that she remained calm is truly inspiring. Rather than freaking out like the rest of us probably would, she chose a life of worship. She choose to put her faith in God and just accepted her future with grace and dignity.

Saint stories have always been very amazing and inspiring to me. St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s story is truly incredible, I love that you wrote this article and portrayed her saint story in such a beautiful way. Her “little way” of showing love and doing simple kind deeds everyday is definitely something that should be noted. I especially love the line you wrote, “and once he learns to put himself as a little child in the arms of God, then everything will be different,” and the story of how she impacted others lives was inspirational to read.

Hello Gabriel. Interesting article. Indeed, Saint Therese of Lisieux had intriguing ideas as to how and what was the path to becoming a saint. Her compromise and devotion to God are admirable. The way she remained calm and so accepting of the future God had traced for her is respectable, and definitely something I could never do so willingly. Good job!

I was raised Catholic but I don’t know that much about the Saints. I found Saint Thérèse of Lisieux very refreshing. She saw how scary and complex God is for many people and showed them a different perspective. She helped people grow in their faith. “The Little Way” shows people that we just need to take a step back, breathe and make things simpler. We forget to enjoy the little moments in life, which make it worth living.
