St Therese of Lisieux,
Patron of the Missions
Therese of Lisieux is one of the patron saints of the missions,not because
she ventured out into the world, she was a Carmelite novice, but because of
her special love of the missions,and the prayers and letters she gave in support
of missionaries.This is a reminder to all of us who feel we can do nothing,
that it is the little things that keep God's kingdom growing.
