From National Catholic Register:
“The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother.” So said St. Thérèse of Lisieux.
The celebration of the 100th anniversary of the canonization of St. Thérèse, the Little Flower, falls on May 17, shortly after Mother’s Day and during the month of May dedicated to our Blessed Mother. It is well to remember that when St. Thérèse was not yet 5 years old, she lost her mother, Zélie, now St. Marie-Azelie Guérin Martin. Although Thérèse never forgot her mother, she soon gained a heavenly one who accompanied her the rest of her life — our Blessed Mother — and to whom Thérèse always turned.
