A Shower of Roses

She Died at Twenty-Four in an Obscure French Convent — and Then She Promised to Spend Her Heaven Doing Good on Earth. She kept that promise. Saint Thérèse of Lisieux never preached from a pulpit, never led an army, never founded a hospital. She scrubbed floors, bore hidden humiliations, and wrestled with a darkness of faith that would terrify most of us.
