Saint Teresa Of The Child Jesus (Sainte Thérèse de Lisieux) Feast Day - 3 October

Quoted from Britannica [1]:

St. Thérèse of Lisieux, also called St. Teresa of the Child Jesus or the Little Flower, original name Marie-Françoise-Thérèse Martin, (born January 2, 1873, Alençon, France—died September 30, 1897, Lisieux; canonized May 17, 1925; feast day October 1) [2].  Carmelite nun whose service to her Roman Catholic order, although outwardly unremarkable, was later recognized for its exemplary spiritual accomplishments....

The story of Thérèse’s spiritual development was related in a collection of her epistolary essays, written by order of the prioresses and published in 1898 under the title Histoire d’une âme (“Story of a Soul”). [3]  Her popularity is largely a result of this work, which conveys her loving pursuit of holiness in ordinary life.
