A seated St. Therese rises fifteen inches high, fixing her viewer with a steady gaze. In her right hand, she holds roses; in her left, a tablet inscribed with the words: "Nisi efficiamini sic parvuli, non intrabitis in regnum caelorum"—"Unless you become as little children, you shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 18:3).

The symbolism of this sculpture is simple yet profound. Therese is seated rather than standing, an intentional choice that reflects the contemplative spirit of the Carmelite order—one of the most austere and inwardly focused. In the order, each soul is cloistered with God. While standing often signifies readiness for action, her seated position represents passivity, contentment, and surrender, embodying the very heart of Therese’s spirituality.

Crafted from durable resin, this statue is perfect for devotional spaces, home altars, or as a serene addition to any sacred collection.
