Thérèse of Lisieux  
The Little Flower 

If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.”

The Chapel borrows its name from the Carmelite nun Thérèse of Lisieux, affectionately known the Little Flower”.

Thérèse developed a simple and humble approach to life called The Little Way” — a reflection on the joy of smallness: performing small, loving actions with great care and attention, rather than seeking extraordinary feats.
