In his autobiography <em>The Seven Storey Mountain<\/em> Merton describes the startling realization that the so-called Little Flower was \u201ca saint, and not just a mute pious little doll.\u201d Merton\u2019s surprise at this woman\u2019s profound holiness is coupled with his acknowledgement that Th\u00e9r\u00e8se \u201ckept everything that was <em>bourgeois<\/em> about her.\u201d\u00a0 Her holiness, in other words, did not undo her life\u2019s particularity. And what a stereotypically feminine bourgeois description of that particularity Merton provides: \u201cher taste for utterly oversweet art, and for little candy angels and pastel saints playing with lambs so soft and fuzzy that they literally give people like me the creeps.\u201d\u00a0 Despite all this, Th\u00e9r\u00e8se de Lisieux and Thomas Merton became joined in a holy friendship that he describes thus:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The discovery of a new saint is a tremendous experience: and all the more so because it is completely unlike the film-fan\u2019s discovery of a new star. What can such a one do with his new idol? Stare at her picture until it makes him dizzy. That is all. But the saints are not mere inanimate objects of contemplation. They become our friends, and they share our friendship and reciprocate it and give us unmistakable tokens of their love for us by the graces that we receive through them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was Th\u00e9r\u00e8se de Lisieux&#8211;of all possible saints!&#8211;whom\u00a0Merton invoked at a defining moment of his life: \u201cYou show me what to do. \u2026 If I get into the monastery, I will be your monk.
