Heads Up!

The feast of our dear St. Therese is coming up on October 3rd!

For a novena to St. Therese to end on her feast day, it should be begun on Saturday, the 25th.

Some people prefer to have their novena end the day before the feast; in which case, you'd want to begin one tomorrow, the 24th.

Here are a couple of our favorite novenas to the Little Flower:

O Little Therese of the Child Jesus,

Please pick a rose for me

From the heavenly gardens

And send it to me

As a message of love.

O little flower of Jesus,

Ask God today to grant the favors

I now place with confidence

In your hands.

(Mention your specific requests)

St. Therese,

help me to always believe,

As you did,

In God's great love for me,

So that I might imitate your

"Little Way" each day. Amen

O Glorious St. Therese, whom Almighty God has raised up to aid and inspire the human family, I implore your Miraculous Intercession. You are so powerful in obtaining every need of body and spirit from the Heart of God. Holy Mother Church proclaims you 'Prodigy of Miracles... the Greatest Saint of Modern Times.' Now I fervently beseech you to answer my petition (mention here) and to carry out your promises of spending Heaven doing good on earth...of letting fall from Heaven a Shower of Roses. Little Flower, give me your childlike faith, to see the Face of God in the people and experiences of my life, and to love God with full confidence. St. Therese, my Carmelite Sister, I will fulfill your plea 'to be made known everywhere' and I will continue to lead others to Jesus through you. Amen.

Also, a lovely one, in which the prayers change each day can be found here. 

St. Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face,

Pray for us!
