Happy I Am. (Bomber.)

Image: St. Thérèse of Lisieux, OCD.

Inscription: Oh, how happy I am to see myself imperfect and to be in the need of God’s mercy, so much even at the moment of my death.
-Thérèse of Lisieux OCD

This statement by St. Thérèse shows a depth of humility that entrusts all that one has, including one's faults and imperfections, to the mercy of God. This is the condition of a happy soul. 

More: St. Thérèse, popularly known as the Little Flower, died at the age of 24 in 1897. She was a Discalced Carmelite nun in France. Her parents, Louis, and Zélie, are also canonized saints in the Catholic Church. Her sister Léonie, who was also a nun, has a cause for beatification opened since 2015.

St. Thérèse is known as the Little Flower because she referrers to herself as that in a memoir and autobiography, Story of a Soul. She wrote this shortly before her death on her deathbed at the behest of her superior. Shortly after her death, her manuscript was read and circulated, first within her convent, and then to a wider audience.

Particular to the image of the Little Flower is an image of a soul that goes unnoticed by anyone but God. As the smallest of wildflowers in a forest of great trees, and even beautiful cultivars, the small wild flower may seem unremarkable. And yet God so desires the beauty of all things. And in this beauty, unnoticed and unremarkable as it may be, the little flower gives glory to God. That is all that is needed.
