| The statue of St. Therese of Lisieux, who is sometimes called the Little Flower, is pictured above. St. Therese, arguably one of the most popular saints, entered a Carmelite monastery at the age of 15 and died of tuberculosis when she was only 24. The statue depicts her dressed in the traditional Carmelite habit. She is holding a crucifix because she would often meditate upon the sufferings of Christ. The roses in her arms reflect her promise that "after my death, I will send down a shower of roses." Many people who have petitioned God for some favor through St. Therese's intercession have reported the mysterious appearance of roses in answer to their prayers. |  |
