Astronaut to carry another relic of St. Therese to space in 2011

About 4 years ago, I went through a difficult spiritual struggle, and it was  St. Therese who pulled me through,  without me even seeking her intercession.  During this struggle, I purchased 'Therese'  the movie on DVD, and 'Story of a Soul', her autobiography, within a couple weeks of each other.   Then, I did ask her to help me through, and I felt as if she took my hand to lead me down the right path.  So, I can  personally attest that she is a great Saint to have with you on any  journey.

U.S. astronaut Ronald Garan, who brought a relic of St. Therese of Lisieux with him on the Discovery space shuttle during his last trip to space, attended Pope Benedict XVI’s Wednesday audience this week and was greeted by the Pontiff.

In 2011, Garan plans to bring another relic of the saint with him on a mission to the international space station.
