091523 CAW Teresa de LisieuxSt. Thérèse of Lisieux, who died on Sept. 30, 1897, was an ardent adorer of Jesus in the Eucharist. “I loved especially the processions in honor of the Blessed Sacrament. What a joy it was for me to throw flowers beneath the feet of God! Before allowing them to fall to the ground, I threw them as high as I could, and I was never so happy as when I saw my roses touch the sacred monstrance,” she wrote in her autobiography “Story of a Soul.” Introduce young children to St. Thérèse in the first six books of the classic Treasure Box series by the Maryknoll Sisters, available at www.tanbooks.com. Charming illustrations of St. Thérèse’s childhood complement the stories of love and lessons learned. Fun activities follow each installment of the series.
