Ce jeudi 1er octobre, l’Eglise fête sainte Thérèse de Lisieux, patronne des missions et docteure de l’Eglise. Retour sur « une vie tout ordinaire »
The Church celebrates Saint Therese of Lisieux on Thursday, October 1. A young Carmelite who died at age 24, she is recognized as a Doctor of the Church and the patroness of missions.
The saint remains popular among Catholic faithful worldwide due to her "little way," a spiritual concept teaching that weaknesses are not an obstacle to union with God. Bishop Guy Gaucher, a specialist on the saint, described her as having an ordinary life.
