Born in Alencon, Normandy (France) in 1873, Marie Therese Martin entered the Carmel of Lisieux at the age of fifteen. There, she lived a life of humility, simplicity, and childlike trust in God. By word and example, she shared this "little way of spiritual childhood" with the novices in her community. She died in odour of sanctity on September 30, 1897 at the age of twenty-four. The rapid growth of devotion to this saint is one of the greatest phenomena of contemporary religious history. Pope Pius XI solemnly canonised her on May 17, 1925. On December 14, 1927, Pope Pius XI proclaimed St. Therese Principal Patroness, equal to St. Francis Xavier, of all missionaries, men and women, and of the missions in the whole world. On May 3, 1944, Pope Pius XII named St. Therese Secondary Patroness of France, equal to St. Joan of Arc. Jackson Dias
