And than you for posting those links. St. Therese is one of my patron saints. For Christmas, my daughter gave me her book The Story of a Soul. Shortly after completing it, I clicked on a favorite Catholic blog. This icon was the first posting.

The image so magnificently captures her that I purchased it and had it beautifully framed with triple matting. It now hangs prominently in my home.

The icon was written by Leonard Porter (1963).
