Who was the “Little Flower”?  And what does the life of a 19th-century French Carmelite nun, cosseted by her parents, raised on a diet of the overheated Catholic piety of the time, and cloistered for the last few years of her short life, have to say to you?  Here is a newly released video on the life of Therese Martin, aka, St. Therese of Lisieux, from Loyola Productions, excerpted from the DVD “Who Cares about the Saints?”
