Saint Therese of the Child Jesus
of the Holy Face
For the feast of St. Teresa of Avila: "Therese of Lisieux and the Discalced Carmelite Tradition," by Sister Margaret Dorgan, D.C.M.
St. Teresa of Avila
Since St. Therese was named for St. Teresa of Avila (Therese being merely the French form of the name "Teresa"), during her lifetime Therese celebrated her feast on October 15, the feast of St. Teresa. In honor of the feast I recommend the article "Therese of Lisieux and the Discalced Carmelite Tradition," by Sister Margaret Dorgan, D.C.M., in which Therese's relationship with Teresa of Avila and with John of the Cross is explored. This article appeared in the Summer 1997 issue of The Way Supplement , (pp 28-37). Copyright The Way, Heythrop College, Kensington Square, London, W8 5HQ, England. I thank the editors of The Way, a British journal of contemporary spirituality, for granting me permission to allow you to read it.

"Therese of Lisieux on the Government Shutdown," by Michael Pettinger for the Huffington Post
Please read Michael Pettinger's thoughts about St. Therese of Lisieux and the shutdown of the U.S. government. Huffington Post, October 9, 2013. He muses that the government shut down on the feast of St. Therese and considers the shutdown in the light of her prayers for the assassin Henri Pranzini. What do you think?

"Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin: The Parents of St. Therese of Lisieux A Step Closer to Canonization," by Maureen O'Riordan. Carmelite Review, Summer/Fall 2013 Issue, p. 12
The Carmelite nuns of Valencia, who suggested that Carmen's parents, family and friends join them in praying a novena to Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin for the child's cure, greet Mgr Carlos Osoro Serra, Archbishop of Valencia, at the closing of the diocesan inquiry into the "presumed miracle" on May 21, 2013.

I am happy to announce that Carmelite Review has published my short article about the closing of the diocesan process in Valencia, Spain in May 2013 that examined the healing of the little Carmen, a "presumed miracle" attributed to the intercession of Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin. Carmen was born on October 15, 2008, so she will celebrate her fifth birthday next Tuesday. To my knowledge, Carmelite Review is the first print publication to feature a story in English about Carmen's cure. Please read
"Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin: The Parents of St. Therese of Lisieux A Step Closer to Sainthood."
