Commentary: Wayback Machine. Quoth the Holy Redeemer bulletin:

She understood that what matters in the Christian life is not great deeds but great love; that anyone can achieve the heights of holiness by doing even the small things well for love of God. "All is well," she wrote, "when one seeks only the will of Jesus."

Quoth the Holy Family bulletin:

Popularly known as "the Little Flower," St. Therese died in Lisieux, France in 1897 at the age of twenty-four. She entered the Carmelite monastery at the age of fifteen. Her autobigraphy is called A Story of a Soul. It in, she expounds her teaching of the "Little Way," spiritual childhood & boundless trust in the Lord. At the end of her life, she went through a severe test of faith. In a short time, it was well known around the world. Pope Pius XI called her the greatest saint of modern times.
