with Peter
Purves Saint Therese of Lisieux
'My name is written in heaven.' So said the five-year-old Therese Martin. Years later she knelt at the feet of the Pope and begged to be allowed to enter the austere Carmelite Convent at the age of 15. Ten years later she died in Carmel, unknown beyond its walls. Yet, after 30 years, she was proclaimed a saint, and millions all over the world became devoted to Saint Therese, the Little Flower of Lisieux.
