Theresia van Lisieux

Saint Therese of Lisieux

Therese of Lisieux, born on January 2, 1873 in Alençon, France, was an extraordinary woman known for her simple spirituality and devotion to God. At the age of 15, she entered the Carmelite convent in Lisieux, where she would spend the rest of her life.

Small roads

Theresia had a special relationship with God and believed in the concept of "little ways" - that is, that one does not have to perform great deeds to achieve spiritual growth, but rather small, daily acts of love and service.

Because of her simple lifestyle and modesty, Theresia's spiritual writings were highly valued and she soon began to become known as a scholar and teacher. Her autobiography "Historie d'une Âme" was published after her death and proved to be a great source of inspiration for many.

Hope and love

Teresa, also known as Teresa of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, was not only a religious leader but also a symbol of hope and love. She was seen as a model of virtue and trust, and many people sought her guidance and prayers.

A popular way to honor and remember Therese of Lisieux is to own an antique statue of her. These antique statues are often cherished for their historical value, but also for the spiritual significance they represent.

How do you recognize Theresia? She is always depicted with a crucifix, roses and a gaze that radiates devotion.
