Let us take seriously St. Thérèse’s plea to be made known everywhere. Her Little Way is more and more the antidote to the trajectory of the world. On us who have known her patronage and learned the story of her life, there rests a special duty to fulfill this plea and to never cease to lead others to Jesus through her.

For those who don’t know her: St. Thérèse of Lisieux is a 19th-century Carmelite nun, who died at age 24. In her short life, she advanced to a rare height of union with our Lord, practicing what she called the Little Way. Through prayer, she realized the centrality of love in the Church, how it “sets off the bounds of all vocations” and drives every member of the Church to action. The mission of those who follow the Little Way is “to become love in the heart of the Church” to keep all her members aflame, so that the love in the heart of the Bride of Christ is never extinguished.

The crest on this bumper sticker is St. Thérèse’s own design, modeled after the crest of her order, the Discalced Carmelites.
