St Therese Attracts 100,000' Visitors
The relics of a Roman Catholic nun (St. Thérèse) described as the "greatest saint of modern times" arrived at Westminster Cathedral on Monday the 12 oct 2009.
Thérèse loved nature. As a child she remembered a visit to the beach at Deauville and the impact the waves had on her. She loved flowers. It is not surprising that she uses flowers to describe the kingdom of God. She sees herself as one of the small flowers and hence is often referred to as “The Little Flower.” She wrote an account of her life, which she described as the “Story of a Soul.” Published shortly after she died on September 30, 1897 at the age of twenty four. The book has proved remarkably popular with people of many different faith traditions and has been translated into over fifty languages. She was canonized in 1925
