Thérèse put on the "little shoes." She did the smallest acts of kindness with the greatest love. She is proof that we don't have to do extraordinary things to become a saint. All we have to do is the smallest things, like smile at the person who we aren't necessarily found of.

Thérèse was filled with God's presence as a child, but later began to feel a crushing sense of God's absence in her prayer while she was in the convent. "Jesus just isn't doing much to keep the conversation going." She would explain. Thérèse hid her suffering from her sisters because she didn't want to burden them.
