This is what sr Catherine Broome OP wrote about St Therese,doctor of the church:‘Thérèse had a special insight regarding the mystical body of Christ and the great variety of charismata,’ said the Pope. Because of her clarity of vision, this special gift of the Spirit which makes her the greatest prophet of our time, we can also dare to trust her deep conviction that even a women could be a priest, and that there is nothing in the Scriptures which gives men a special place in that matter. John Paul II has, with his words and deeds, guided by the Holy Spirit, confirmed that this woman was sent by God to assist us in interpreting the signs of the times and to come ‘closer to the will of God.’( “The Priestly Vocation Of Therese of The Child Jesus” in Spirituality,Dominican Publications,Dublin,1997) http://www.womenpriests.org/called/broome.asp
Therese is a saint, because she did precisely, what is stated in the above entry….she lived in Christ, heroically, on a day-to-day basis…Her dream was to be in heaven with Christ, and to see to it, that all those called by Christ, found Him, as their bridegroom as well as she. Yes, she had other aspirations, including desiring to be a priest, but, it was always because she wanted to bring souls to Christ.
