Saint Therese: Considered by Pope Pious X to be "the greatest saint of modern times", Saint Therese was a French Discalced Carmelite nun. She is also known as “Little Flower” because of her love for flowers and a famous analogy that she herself had used to describe her love for God. She, in fact, called herself the "little flower of Jesus," who gave glory to God by just being her little self among all the other flowers in God’s garden. She is and has been admired in all the world for her humble ways and her way of attending to everybody and everything with undying love.  In her autobiography Saint Therese wrote that "What matters in life is not great deeds but great love.".
