"Thanks to the Little Flower." (U6.161)

'The Little Flower' is Therese of Lisieux (1873 - 1897), who became a Carmelite nun at the age of 15, and died (of tuberculosis) at 24. In her autobiographical writings (edited and published by her superiors as 'Story of a Soul' in 1898), she refers to herself as a little flower in God's garden. This is her photograph as a little girl.
