Pope Pius X called Thérèse of Lisieux (1873-1897) "the greatest saint of modern times." For anyone who grew up in the pre-Vatican II church, she was the most popular model of virtue. Her "little way of spiritual childhood" showed Catholics how each of them could practice their faith and gain salvation. The "Little Flower of Jesus" was, above all, a saint for the ordinary person, a heroine without heroics, a mystic who did not soar but through her language brought God and her relationship to him down to earth
