St Therese of Lisieux (04)

Set against a diamond-patterned background, this coloring page of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, OCD, uses laurel leaf borders to signify her victory in Christ. She holds the crucifix and roses close, her gaze serene. As Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, the Little Flower of Jesus, the Little Flower, and la petite Thérèse, she embraced a hidden life of prayer as a Discalced Carmelite. Canonized in 1925, her feast is celebrated on October 1. Ideal for catechesis about sainthood, perseverance, and the quiet triumph of holiness.
