In Normandy






There is a town called Lisieux. And the above girl lived in it. She was with the Carmelite order, and was named after
a famous carmelite Therese of Avila. Mother Theresa of Calcutta was named after her.
She is one of a handful of "doctors" of the church.

This Saturday was Our Lady of Carmel feast day.
This Saint died suffocating to death on her own blood with Tuberculosis in the 19th century. It is similar to how Jesus died, as
he also suffocated while crucified with collapsed lungs it is believed. It's a strange way of sharing in Christ's sufferings. She also suffered the petty mechant meanness of her peers and fellow religious.

She's the one who drops roses out of the clear blue -which is why they call her the Little Flower. I am going to pray she delivers you roses-and when she does you will know i am thinking of you- je pense a toi.
