________________________________
Santa Teresa was born in 1873 to a pious French middleclass family. She entered the Carmelite Order at the early age of 15 and lived her short life in the relative obscurity of her cloister performing routine duties assigned to her. Teresa cultivated a rich spiritual life by cheerfully dedicating menial tasks, religious obedience, and physical suffering to the salvation of souls. She called this her “little way.” Her superiors ordered Teresa to write her autobiography which continues to be an international best-seller. When she died of tuberculosis at the age of 24 Teresa proclaimed she would spend her heaven doing good on earth.
In sacred art Teresa is shown in the brown and white habit of a Carmelite nun. She often holds a crucifix and roses in her hands. She is one of the female doctors of the Church, a patron of France, pilots, and missions.
Her feast day is October 1.
