Saint Thérèse de Lisieux is in Cebu

Bad traffic to Mabolo. People lining up outside the Carmelite's gate. You would know "something" is there. The smell of flower will greet you from the gate and embrace you even more when you're inside the church. (The scent is still sticking on my hands up until now though I haven't touched anything.)

Ordinary girl. Extraordinary Soul. St.Thérèse is known for her "Little Way." In her quest for sanctity, she realised that it was not necessary to accomplish heroic acts, or "great deeds", in order to attain holiness and to express her love of God.

I heard about her when I was still a child and it was a joy to be finally near her even for a minute.
