Saint Teresa was born at Alencon in France in the year 1873. While still young she entered the Carmelite monastery at Lisieux and practised the virtues of humility, evangelical simplicity and a firm confidence in God. By her words and example she taught the novices. Offering her life for the salvation of souls and for the spreading of the faith in the missions, she died on 30 September in the year 1897.
Let's pray:
God our Father, You promised Your Kingdom to the little ones and the humble of heart. Give us grace to walk confidently in the way of Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus, so that, helped by her prayers, we may see Your eternal glory. We make our prayer in the name of Jesus, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

God does not condemn us to hell; God wishes all humans to be saved. He will love us to all eternity, but there will exist the possibility that we do not accept the love and do not respond to it. And the refusal to accept love, the refusal to respond to it, that precisely is the meaning of hell. Hell is not a place where God puts us; it is a place where we put ourselves. The doors of hell, insofar as they have locks, have locks on the inside.

Thursday October 1, Feast of Saint Therese, known as the Little Flower
This month, we celebrate two awesome saints and Doctors of the Church. Today is the feast of Thérèse of Lisieux, whose “Little Way” always reminds us that even the smallest outreach -- a smile or kind word -- can mean a world of difference to others! Later on October 15, we celebrate another great Carmelite nun -- Teresa of Avila! Did you know she is the patron saint of A Nun's Life Ministry?!
