Several Popes refer to her as the \u201cGreatest Saint of modern times.\u201d<\/p><p>The original National Shrine to St. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se \u2013 notably, the first such shrine \u2013 began at St. Cyril&#8217;s Church in Chicago in 1923, as devotion to the Little Flower was growing.\u00a0 Due to her popularity, the Tuesday novenas drew thousands of devoted friends which necessitated the shrine being relocated to the more spacious St. Clara&#8217;s Church, also in the Woodlawn neighborhood of Chicago. During this time, relics and personal effects of the newly canonized Saint (she was canonized in 1925) were shared with the Carmelite Province of the Most Pure Heart of Mary from the Carmelite Nuns of Lisieux in gratitude for the financial and prayerful support the Province had provided for Th\u00e9r\u00e8se&#8217;s beatification and canonization.<\/p><p>Over time the crowds diminished and in 1975 St. Clara&#8217;s was devastated by a massive fire which effectively shut down the shrine. Thankfully, most of the relics and effects were not severely damaged, but some saw these events as the end of the devotion \u2013 truly, the end of an era. The salvaged relics and effects were taken to the Aylesford Carmelite Priory in Darien, Illinois, about 25 miles south of the city, to be stored.<\/p><p>This, however, was not the end of the story. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, from fire sprang forth new opportunities for life.<\/p><p>A devoted Lay Carmelite left the Carmelites a bequest in her will to build a shrine to the Little Flower.\u00a0 The gift was used to build the new shrine in Darien on the Aylesford Carmelite campus.

Terry Sempowski, then director of the Little Flower Society, oversaw the design and construction, making every effort to be faithful to Carmelite spirituality and to Th\u00e9r\u00e8se&#8217;s \u201clittle way.\u201d<\/p><p>Conrad Schmitt Studios of Milwaukee was commissioned to design both an expansive stained-glass window of the Ascent of Mount Carmel and a sculptural wall relief of the life of Th\u00e9r\u00e8se.\u00a0 The wall carving, made of Lindenwood, was carved by Demetz Studios in Ortisei, Italy.\u00a0 It is reported to have taken 18 months.<\/p><p>The new shrine was dedicated on November 1, 1987.<\/p><p><em>by Fr Bob Colaresi, O.Carm. | Originally published in Carmelite Review 59|2 [2020]<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e812b0d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"e812b0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd41003 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd41003\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p align=\"justify\">TH\u00c9R\u00c8SE MARTIN was born at Alen\u00e7on, France on 2 January 1873. Two days later, she was baptized Marie Frances Th\u00e9r\u00e8se at Notre Dame Church. Her parents were Louis Martin and Z\u00e9lie Gu\u00e9rin. After the death of her mother on 28 August 1877, Th\u00e9r\u00e8se and her family moved to Lisieux.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">Towards the end of 1879, she went to confession for the first time. On the Feast of Pentecost 1883, she received the singular grace of being healed from a serious illness through the intercession of Our Lady of Victories. Taught by the Benedictine Nuns of Lisieux and after an intense immediate preparation culminating in a vivid experience of intimate union with Christ, she received First Holy Communion on 8 May 1884. Some weeks later, on 14 June of the same year, she received the Sacrament of Confirmation, fully aware of accepting the gift of the Holy Spirit as a personal participation in the grace of Pentecost.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">She wished to embrace the contemplative life, as her sisters Pauline and Marie had done in the Carmel of Lisieux, but was prevented from doing so by her young age. On a visit to Italy, after having visited the House of Loreto and the holy places of the Eternal City, during an audience granted by Pope Leo XIII to the pilgrims from Lisieux on 20 November 1887, she asked the Holy Father with childlike audacity to be able to enter the Carmel at the age of fifteen.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">On 9 April 1888 she entered the Carmel of Lisieux. She received the habit on 10 January of the following year, and made her religious profession on 8 September 1890 on the Feast of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">In Carmel she embraced the way of perfection outlined by the Foundress, Saint Teresa of Jesus, fulfilling with genuine fervour and fidelity the various community responsibilities entrusted to her. Her faith was tested by the sickness of her beloved father, Louis Martin, who died on 29 July 1894. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se nevertheless grew in sanctity, enlightened by the Word of God and inspired by the Gospel to place love at the centre of everything. In her autobiographical manuscripts she left us not only her recollections of childhood and adolescence but also a portrait of her soul, the description of her most intimate experiences. She discovered the little way of spiritual childhood and taught it to the novices entrusted to her care. She considered it a special gift to receive the charge of accompanying two &#8220;missionary brothers&#8221; with prayer and sacrifice. Seized by the love of Christ, her only Spouse, she penetrated ever more deeply into the mystery of the Church and became increasingly aware of her apostolic and missionary vocation to draw everyone in her path.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">On 9 June 1895, on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, she offered herself as a sacrificial victim to the merciful Love of God. At this time, she wrote her first autobiographical manuscript, which she presented to Mother Agnes for her birthday on 21 January 1896.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">Several months later, on 3 April, in the night between Holy Thursday and Good Friday, she suffered a haemoptysis, the first sign of the illness which would lead to her death; she welcomed this event as a mysterious visitation of the Divine Spouse. From this point forward, she entered a trial of faith which would last until her death; she gives overwhelming testimony to this in her writings. In September, she completed Manuscript B; this text gives striking evidence of the spiritual maturity which she had attained, particularly the discovery of her vocation in the heart of the Church.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">While her health declined and the time of trial continued, she began work in the month of June on Manuscript C, dedicated to Mother Marie de Gonzague. New graces led her to higher perfection and she discovered fresh insights for the diffusion of her message in the Church, for the benefit of souls who would follow her way. She was transferred to the infirmary on 8 July. Her sisters and other religious women collected her sayings. Meanwhile her sufferings and trials intensified. She accepted them with patience up to the moment of her death in the afternoon of 30 September 1897. &#8220;I am not dying, I am entering life&#8221;, she wrote to her missionary spiritual brother, Father M. Bellier. Her final words, &#8220;My God&#8230;, I love you!&#8221;, seal a life which was extinguished on earth at the age of twenty-four; thus began, as was her desire, a new phase of apostolic presence on behalf of souls in the Communion of Saints, in order to shower a rain of roses upon the world.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">She was canonized by Pope Pius XI on 17 May 1925. The same Pope proclaimed her Universal Patron of the Missions, alongside Saint Francis Xavier, on 14 December 1927.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">Her teaching and example of holiness has been received with great enthusiasm by all sectors of the faithful during this century, as well as by people outside the Catholic Church and outside Christianity.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">On the occasion of the centenary of her death, many Episcopal Conferences have asked the Pope to declare her a Doctor of the Church, in view of the soundness of her spiritual wisdom inspired by the Gospel, the originality of her theological intuitions filled with sublime teaching, and the universal acceptance of her spiritual message, which has been welcomed throughout the world and spread by the translation of her works into over fifty languages.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">Mindful of these requests, His Holiness Pope John Paul II asked the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, which has competence in this area, in consultation with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith with regard to her exalted teaching, to study the suitability of proclaiming her a Doctor of the Church.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">On 24 August, at the close of the Eucharistic Celebration at the Twelfth World Youth Day in Paris, in the presence of hundreds of bishops and before an immense crowd of young people from the whole world, Pope John Paul II announced his intention to proclaim Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face a Doctor of the Universal Church on World Mission Sunday, 19 October 1997.<\/p><p
