St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, Pray for Us!


THE SCIENCE OF DIVINE LOVE, which the Father of mercies pours out through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit, is a gift granted to the little and the humble so that they may know and proclaim the secrets of the kingdom, hidden from the learned and the wise; for this reason Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, praising the Father who graciously willed it so (cf. Lk 10:21-22; Mt11:25-26).

-Blessed John Paul II, Divini amoris scientia, 1997

During his pontificate, Blessed John Paul II declared Thérèse of the Child Jesus a Doctor of the Universal Church. Let us turn to St. Thérèse on the day of her memorial, asking her to pray for our Church as we prepare for the coming Synod and Year of Faith.
