The Little Flower
The Chapel of St. Thérèse of Lisieux sits on a hillside overlooking Lyttelton Harbour, Whakaraupō.
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.
