Me and St. Therese of Lisieux ~

Reliquary of St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Therese Church in Alhambra, California, 1999

My discernment in Carmel came during the most glorious of days of which the Little Therese became no longer so little in the EYES of a world for her grandeur became great through the writings of a little hand.  My Holy Habit of Carmel as a Novice was reflected on the glass of her reliquary and my mother and grandmother were present as they took this photo of me asking and knowing that her friendship would always be very special to me as I hold her close as sister and friend.
