Despite never leaving the walls of the convent, she became the patron of missionaries because she offered all of her tasks as intercession for those witnessing out in the world.
Therese knew that she would not accomplish "great things" in her life, but chose to do seemingly insignificant daily tasks with great love. This became known as "the little way."
Description | Living a simple, humble life behind the walls of a cloistered Carmelite convent in France, Therese's commitment to love and holiness made her a doctor of the Church.
