Also known as Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, she was born in France in 1873. She became a cloistered Carmelite nun in Lisieux, which is located in Normandy. She is known for vocalizing what she called the "Little Way," a life path leading to Heaven. She strove constantly for sanctity and for the salvation of others, even the worst sinners. She was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1925.

Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, and upon the knees they shall caress you.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew (18.1-4)
At that time, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them, And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
OFFERTORY Luke 1.46-49.
My soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior: because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaiden. He that is mighty hath done great things to me.
