We Give You Thanks, o Lord

Saint Therese of Lisieux, "The Little Flower" Therese Martin was the last of nine children born to Louis and Zelie Martin (also among the Communion of Saints) on January 2, 1873, in Alencon, France. Precocious and sensitive, Therese needed much attention. Her mother died when she was 4 years old. As a result, her father and sisters babied young Therese. She had a spirit that wanted everything.

At the age of 14, on Christmas Eve in 1886, Therese had a conversion that transformed her life. At 15, she entered the Carmelite convent in Lisieux to give her whole life to God. She took the religious name Sister Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face. Living a hidden, simple life of prayer, she was gifted with great intimacy with God. Through sickness and dark nights of doubt and fear, she remained faithful to God, rooted in His merciful love. After a long struggle with tuberculosis, she died on September 30, 1897, at the age of 24. Her last words were the story of her life: "My God, I love You!"

The world came to know Therese through her autobiography, "Story of a Soul". She described her life as a "little way of spiritual childhood." She lived each day with an unshakable confidence in God's love. "What matters in life," she wrote, "is not great deeds, but great love." Therese lived and taught a spirituality of attending to everyone and everything well and with love. She believed that just as a child becomes enamored with what is before her, we should also have a childlike focus and totally attentive love. Therese's spirituality is of doing the ordinary, with extraordinary love.

She loved flowers and saw herself as the "little flower of Jesus," who gave glory to God by just being her beautiful little self among all the other flowers in God's garden. Because of this beautiful analogy, the title "little flower" remained with St. Therese. Her inspiration and powerful presence from heaven touched many people very quickly. She was canonized by Pope Pius XI on May 17, 1925. Had she lived, she would have been only 52 years old when she was declared a Saint. "My mission - to make God loved - will begin after my death," she said. "I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses." Roses have been described and experienced as Saint Therese's signature. Countless millions have been touched by her intercession and imitate her "little way." She has been acclaimed "the greatest saint of modern times." In 1997, Pope John Paul II declared St. Therese a Doctor of the Church in tribute to the powerful way her spirituality has influenced people all over the world.

Mass on: Friday, November 2nd, 2018 at 7:00PM

St. Julia Billiart School It is our hope that this special remembrance may be, for those who grieve, a healing experience, and that they find comfort and hope in the prayers and love of the community of faith around them. We will close the evening with refreshments and sweets. Please stay tuned for more details in next week’s bulletin.

HARVEST FOOD DRIVE The Society of St. Vincent de Paul would like to thank the parishioners of Blessed Frédéric Ozanam parish for their overwhelming support of our Harvest Food Collection. Our community collected 30 boxes of fruit and vegetables, some canned goods and pasta which were picked up by the Capuchin monks of St. Francis Table. The Capuchin Outreach of St. Francis Table serves 9 meals per week to homeless and low-income men, women and children in downtown Toronto. This was a joint effort with St. Patrick’s Church whose donations went to the 2 local food banks that serve low-income families in Markham. Your efforts will make many meals more enjoyable and nutritious for families and single people who struggle to afford quality fresh food on a regular basis.
