Class Saint
Saint Therese of Lisieux has many names such as the little flower, the saint of the little way, and the greatest saint of modern times. Â Her message of simplicity and childlike trust in God, our merciful father is timeless and lives on in many hearts as a spirit of courage and hope. Â In 1927, Pope Pius XI declared her the universal co-patron of the missions with St. Francis Xavier. Â Her love for the missions and her power of intercession were so strong that she was a missionary in spirit even though she never physically left the monastery in Lisieux. Â In 1994, Pope St. John Paul II named her co-patroness of France with St. Joan of Arc.
 Saint Therese is also the patroness of florists. She loved flowers and mentioned them often. âWhen I die, I will send forth a shower of roses from the heavens.â Throughout the years, she has proven faithful to her promise of intercession and will never forget those she loves.
