Her Convent life was cold, and accommodation was basic. Not all sisters warmed to this 15-year-old girl. At times she became the subject of gossip, and one of her sisters took a very harsh attitude to this young “spoilt middle class” girl. However, Therese  always responded to criticism and gossip with the attitude of love. No matter what others said. Eventually, the nun who had criticised Therese so much said. “why do you always smile at me, Why are you always so kind, even when I treat you badly?”

St. Therese loved nature, and often used the imagery of nature to explain how the Divine Presence is everywhere, and how everything is connected in God's loving care and arms. Therese saw herself as "the Little Flower of Jesus" because she was just like the simple wild flowers in forests and fields. Therese did not see herself as a brilliant rose or an elegant lily, by simply as a small wildflower. She believed she was blooming where God had planted her.

do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm.
If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.”
― St. Therese of Lisieux
