The Little Flower

For the third time she was here in the country. For the second time i felt blessed that i saw and touched her relic.  And it was such a great feeling that it all happened on the first week of January and of the year.
I was talking about Saint Therese of the Child Jesus. I was in grade school when i first learned about her. It was 13 years ago. One vivid memory i can recall then was the scene at the Airport. A bunch of young girls in pink frock each holding a basket filled with rose petals on hand waited for her relic to arrive. I was one of them.

She drew me closer to Him. Her story touched my life. Her love for Him inspired me and other people.
