First Episode: St. Thérèse of Lisieux Songs of the Saints
A moment with Saint Thérèse of Lisieux!
Join Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as the Little Flower or St. Therese of the Child Jesus, in a moment of her life!
In a moment of doubt, she turns to prayer. Follow along in song as she prays two of the prayers of one of her favorite saints, Saint Teresa of Ávila.
This Saint Thérèse of Lisieux animation is meant for kids and adults. This animation may inspire you to begin the Saint Therese of Lisieux novena. Or to pray the prayer of The Little Flower. Use this video as inspiration for your next meditative prayer. The feast of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux is October 1st, but you can ask for her intercession any time!
This new series, Songs of the Saints, will let you encounter different saints. Each video opens with the Song of the Saints book. As you enter this book, you enter into an intimate moment in the life of a saint.
May this video featuring Saint Thérèse inspire you to read her book, The Story of a Soul, or one of the many works from Saint Theresa of Avila, such as The Interior Castle. These Carmelites are sure to capture your heart and bring you to Jesus.

In her book, The Story of a Soul, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux writes (translated by Michael Day, Cong., Orat.), after she entered Carmel, "My dream was at last realized, and peace flooded my soul, a deep, sweet, inexpressible peace, an inward peace which has been my lot these eight and a half years. It has never left me, not even when trials were at their height. Everything here delighted me, our little cell most of all; it was as though I had been transported to my far-away desert. But my happiness, I must say again, was a calm happiness."
But, a few hours before her Profession, "So deep became my darkness that one fact alone was clear to me - I did not have a religious vocation and must return to the world. My anguish was indescribable. What did one do in such a crisis?"
In our video, we take the creative license of having The Little Flower turn to the prayers of Saint Teresa of Ávila. In her book, she turns to the Novice Mistress.
Saint Thérèse continues, "My act of humility acted like a charm in putting the devil to flight. He had hoped to catch me in his toils by getting me to keep my trouble to myself. But it was I who caught him."
This Little Flower inspired the creation of this song and video, and we pray that the Little Flower inspires you to deepen your life in Christ.
