Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as “The Little Flower,” was a French Carmelite nun who lived from 1873 to 1897. Despite dying at just 24 years of age, she became one of the most popular saints of modern times through her autobiography “Story of a Soul” and her “Little Way” of spiritual childhood.
