Oil Dedicated to St Therese of Lisieux – Christmas Oil

St. Therese of Lisieux, also known as “The Little Flower,” was born in France in 1873. She entered the Carmelite convent at a young age, just 15 years old, and spent most of her life in the convent, where she lived a life of deep prayer and simplicity. Despite her brief life—she passed away at the age of 24 from tuberculosis—St. Therese became one of the most beloved saints of the Catholic Church.

Her spirituality is known as the “Little Way,” which emphasizes doing small things with great love and devotion to God. She believed that holiness could be achieved through everyday acts of kindness, humility, and love, no matter how ordinary they might seem. Her deep trust in God’s love and her dedication to living out her faith in the smallest of ways have inspired countless people around the world.

St. Therese is the patron saint of florists, gardeners, and anyone involved with flowers, due to her deep love for them and her title, “The Little Flower.” She is also invoked by those seeking spiritual growth through simplicity and humility, as well as for those seeking to find joy in everyday tasks. Her spirituality and her writings continue to guide people who desire to live a life of love and devotion, especially in small, everyday actions.

St. Therese is also a patron for those suffering from illness, as she faced great physical suffering during her life. Many people turn to her for comfort and strength in times of difficulty, asking for her intercession to help them find peace and grace through their own struggles.
