Saint Therese of Lisieux
Known also as "Saint Theresa, the Little Flower," Saint Therese of Lisieux famously begged Pope Leo XIII to let her become a nun at the early age of 15. Her prayers were soon answered and in 1888 she entered a Carmelite convent. Known for her simple love and kind ways, Therese died at 24, promising to "send down a shower of roses" from Heaven.
