St Therese of Lisieux (15)

This magnificent coloring page of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, OCD—Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, the Little Flower of Jesus, and la petite Thérèse—presents her in full figure, surrounded by adoring cherubim in a radiant heavenly setting. Clad in her Discalced Carmelite habit, she holds a crucifix intertwined with roses, the enduring symbol of her promise to “spend her heaven doing good on earth” by showering blessings upon souls.

The ornate Gothic-style window frame, complete with pointed arches and floral motifs, recalls the sacred architecture of European cathedrals. Cherubs peek out from soft clouds, highlighting Thérèse’s role as an intercessor and beloved child of God. Scattered roses at her feet emphasize her spiritual nickname, “the Little Flower,” given for her humility and devotion to performing small acts with great love.

Born in 1873 in Alençon, France, St. Thérèse entered the Carmel of Lisieux at 15 and lived a hidden life of prayer, penance, and deep love for Christ. She was canonized in 1925 by Pope Pius XI and named a Doctor of the Church in 1997 by Pope John Paul II. Her feast day is celebrated on October 1, and she is the patroness of missionaries, florists, and the sick.

Perfect for catechesis, parish feast day celebrations, homeschooling, and personal devotion, this image offers an inspirational way to introduce children and adults to the life and teachings of one of the most cherished saints in modern Church history.
