Oct. 3 – St. Theresa of the Child Jesus, virgin
“On the day of her death, in the evening of September 30th 1897, St. Therese said: ‘Never would I have believed it was possible to suffer so much! Never! Never! I cannot explain this except by the ardent desires I have had to save souls.’ St. Therese suffered for you also, so that you too could be ‘possessed’ by God as she was, so that you too could live an Evangelical radicalism as she did.” (The Gift of Faith, pg. 92-93)
