We thought that honor was an alien name
from a foreign land, in this age of fame;
that it died long ago, long before our birth,
when the Spirit of Christ used to walk on this earth.
But Therese smiles in Carmel, an argument unsaid,
every motion a prayer as she rises from bed
to an armor of foil and flag of holy mark,
and summons the chivalry of Joan of Arc.
We thought God was dead by the thinkers' hands
and thought that His Spirit no longer walked the land
in the age of the train track and telephone,
enlightened by lights no longer His own.
But Therese heard Him, felt Him, deep in her soul,
a Love that burned brighter and hotter than coals
as she numbered the Paters and Aves on a cord
and her little soul magnified the glory of the Lord.

You: Nothing stays the same
St. Paul, an intellectual: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (cf. Hebrews 13:8)
For a little while now, I've wanted to write a poem about one of my favorite saints, the Doctor of the Church St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower--I just didn't know the words yet
This mostly started out as a stray phrase, "Honor is an alien name," which I think I've heard somewhere before, but can't be sure where. Somehow I connected it to a famous picture of the saint dressed as another patron saint of France, St. Joan of Arc, for a play she wrote. And now, here we are 
Like so many people before, I got interested in St. Therese's life and story ever since I heard about her. She was a Discalced Carmelite nun who lived in the late 19th century, a very interesting time period, in France, a very interesting place. And in one of her writings, she uses an elevator as a spiritual image or metaphor We think they're common now, but they were quite new and novel when she was around. The respected Father Dwight Longenecker thought that she first encountered an elevator on a family vacation when she was younger, when they stayed at a hotel which had the new contraption installed. He also reckons that an interesting German professor named Friedrich Nietzsche was also staying at the hotel at the time.
A number of commentators have pointed to St. Therese of Lisieux as a saint for our time, "the greatest saint of modern times," said Pope Pius X. I almost called this "Thoroughly Modern Therese" because of that (so corny), but settled on "St. Therese the Timeless" because she really is a saint for all seasons.
O Jesus! O Mary! I love Thee. Save souls.
