Convent Functions Lisieux Martin Therese Performing Sacristan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897), also known as the "Little Flower," in the humble yet significant role of a sacristan in her convent. The image, taken at the Carmelite Convent in Lisieux, France, shows the young nun deeply engrossed in her duties, carefully arranging the sacred vessels and vestments on the altar. Therese Martin was born into a devout family and felt called to the religious life from a young age. She entered the Carmelite Convent in Lisieux at the age of 15 and spent the next 12 years of her life in seclusion, dedicating herself to prayer and contemplation. However, she also took on various tasks within the convent, including that of a sacristan, which involved preparing the altar and vestments for Mass and other liturgical celebrations. The photograph reveals a tender and introspective moment in the life of this beloved saint. Therese's expression is focused and serene, her hands deftly moving the objects with reverence and care. The simple, monochrome composition emphasizes the spiritual significance of her work, reminding us of the importance of even the smallest acts of service in our daily lives. Saint Therese of Lisieux is celebrated for her deep faith, her simple and childlike devotion to God, and her mission to spread love and kindness in the world. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into her life as a cloistered nun, performing the essential functions of a sacristan with dedication and devotion.
