    THERESIAN 101- ESSAY ABOUT SAINT THERESE OF LISIEUX

    ROSEMARIE E. LOZADA

    My husband was a former seminarian, he has a big part in why I am a believer

    in Saint Therese of the child Jesus. He influences me to have a novena now and then.

    We offered a prayer to Saint Therese for our intention to have at last a stable job. I

    remembered the first time I received a Rose from a stranger, that time I wasn't aware

    that the rose was a symbol of my answered prayer, after completing nine consecutive

    days of novena prayer. My husband received a call from the institution where he is

    applying for a certain job position and eventually hired him after a series of tests and

    examinations, then a matter of one month I'm also hired as a public school teacher.

    Only then we realized that our prayer intention was answered through the intercession

    of Saint Therese. That moment was an amazing feeling and felt like I was an

    audience of a miracle that was happening through my very own eyes and flesh.

    In my 20 years of being married, like any other married couple, my husband

    and I experience ups and downs, trials, and many obstacles in the world of a married

    couple. But what is good in our relationship is we put all our trust in God and live

    under the will of our almighty Father. I am blessed with a husband with a deep faith in

    God, maybe because being a seminarian for almost 9 years is a big factor for him to

    understand the doctrine of the Catholic church and be a believer of many saints. One

    of our favorite saints is Saint Therese of the child Jesus, and we also read a book of
    her to our children about her life. We tell them that even though Saint Therese live a

    short life on earth she was able to inspire a lot of people.

    We believe that Saint Therese is in our lives and our protector in every

    difficult situation we are in Thus, Therese of Lisieux – is one of the saint- protectress

    of missionaries, not because she ever engaged in missionary activities, but due to her

    special love to the missionary movement, as well as prayers and letters, which

    Therese has supported to different missions. Her life – is a good reminder to all of us

    who feel that nothing can be done in one or another situation that exactly "small"

    deeds help to build the kingdom of God.

    Our family understood the life of St. Therese of Lisieux, we say that she

    thought us about her mission, and we felt her calling of the priest and apostle in her

    heart. Martyrdom was the dream of her youth, and that dream has grown with her.

    True love for her neighbor gave Therese a key to her saint's mission and she also

    understood that the Church has a heart, and this heart burns with love to people.

    Thus, based on the discussion above it is possible to say that Therese in her

    young age was not an ordinary girl, but she was an example of the holy life because

    everything that surrounded a small Therese in the convent became a kind of means to

    increase the divine love in her heart. All trifles and the hardships of everyday life

    became a sacrifice of love in Therese's mind. And everything Therese has dreamed

    about became true after her death because exactly this young girl became the apostle

    of love, the missionary, and the teacher of the Church. The people called her the Little

    Saint or the Little Flower. The church has seen in her life and actions the word of God

    addressed to our time. My essay was based on the film about the life of Saint Therese

    of Lisieux entitled “The Little Way of St Therese of Child Jesus"
