Therese was a loving daughter and sister who helped around the house and had fun with her family. She asked the bishop and then the Pope for permission to join the Carmelite order, and prayed fervently to be accepted despite her young age. As a nun, Therese prayed daily for others, performed small acts of service, and remained humble, even when treated poorly, in order to serve God through prayer and kindness.
