*This story is the last of the 9-day story series on St. Therese. Hope the stories added inspiration to your days.

It was a week before October 1, 2023, and I wanted to celebrate St. Therese's feast day in a special way. Unfortunately, we were busy the whole day hosting lunch and dinner for two different groups. We had a lovely lunch for long time friends.
For dinner, we had a nephew as our special guest. He's from San Francisco, and though he's been living in Los Angeles, our family didn't have much opportunity of having him over.
After a lovely dinner and nonstop sharing of lives, people started to leave because there was work the following day. By the doorway, I happened to mention that it was wonderful having the evening's celebration as it was also the feast day of St. Therese. Our guest of honor's face suddenly opened up with a huge smile as he said, "St. Therese of Lisieux is my patron saint!" I instantaneously felt overwhelming joy!
What a blessing to know that in some way, we did celebrate her feast day.
