Saint Th?r?se of Lisieux
« on: October 14, 2009, 08:10:20 AM »
I walked past Westminster Cathedral yesterday and saw hundreds of people queueing to get into there....this was most unusual ...what was going on I thought .

Then I see it is about this ....never heard of her  Shrugs:



http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/14/relics-saint-therese

Th?r?se, a French nun who died of tuberculosis in 1897, aged 24......"She represents love and charity,"....."she shows you how to do the little things with love; how to do things quietly, without anybody noticing."

Th?r?se is traditionally associated with roses ? on sale for ?1 each at the cathedral's entrance ( whatever happened to the charity bit  rubschin: ) These relics have already been seen by 150,000 people during their month-long tour of England and Wales, with 76,000 pilgrims paying homage in six days in the north-west. Westminster Cathedral expects at least that number during their three days here, and has laid on 100,000 candles  and 50,000 pink roses for the saint Catholics know as "the little flower of Jesus".

I've just read the article from the link. Belief is a very odd thing.  rubschin:

Sometimes I think I would like that sort of certainty in my life.




















Only sometimes.

Indeed Uncle...

I stood in line at passport control yesterday surrounded by Orthodox Jews.

Very strange to see even young boys dressed up in the 'uniform' with ringlets...  noooo:
