Saint Therese’s life and her way have been called ‘radical non-violence;’ so let us be gentle on ourselves, those we live with, and those we love today.
Saint Therese suffered from tuberculosis and so should be declared the protecting saint, the guiding saint, the patron saint of the world in this time of pandemic. A novena is a prayer across nine days and in this novena we ask Therese to continue to “spend her heaven doing good on earth.”
