Saint Therese of Lesieux
St. Thérèse of Lisieux was almost a child when she died; she had never left her convent and died at age 24. And yet she is the patroness of missions and one of only three women doctors of the church. How did she manage all that in her short life? She lived very intense experiences and was able to articulate them. She now has millions of devotees throughout the world.
