Feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux: The Little Flower’s Special Connection to Rome | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

On the Feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux—known to many as “The Little Flower”—we take a closer look at her special connection to Rome. At just 15, she traveled to the Eternal City to seek permission from Pope Leo XIII to enter the Carmelite convent. During that pilgrimage, she stayed not far from the Church of Trinità dei Monti, where she often visited a special chapel with a miraculous painting to pray for help and guidance. Now, that same church plays a key role in the Jubilee Year, welcoming her relics and helping pilgrims discover St. Thérèse and her “Little Way,” a spirituality of childlike trust and love. EWTN Vatican journalist Bénédicte Cedergren reports. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
