ST. THERESE OF LISIEUX (France, 1873-1897)
Carmelite nun, Doctor of the Church
'Little Flower of Jesus'
OR today.
At the General Audience, the Pope reviews his trip to the Czech Republic:
'The courage to do good in order to build Europe'
Other Page 1 stories: Iran begins talks with US and 5 other nations but reiterates it won't discuss its nuclear development program; a tsunami
strikes the Samoa islands of the South Pacific. In the inside pages is an essay from a new book of commentaries on Caritas in veritate, and
an essay by Marcello Pera showing that the culture of human rights derived from the moral law of Christianity. NB: Perhaps someone can explain
why the OR chose to use two absolutely routine pictures of the GA neither of which even shows the Pope.
