Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897) was born Therese Martin in Normandy, France. She entered the Carmel of Lisieux at the age of fifteen. At that time the notation that God's anger on account of sin must be appeased by voluntary self offering was prevalent in the church. Instead within nine years Therese achieved holiness through her grasp of the central gospel truth of God's merciful saving love for everyone without exception. Her teaching has rescued convicted criminals, alcoholics and other addicts from despair as well as pointing out the simple way of trust to countless Christians. She is the patron saint of missionaries and in 1997 was declared a Doctor (that is, an official teacher) of the Church. She is one of the most popular and best loved of all the saints. Her feast day is October 1.
