Novena Prayer to St Therese

                              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.
 

                             My Novena Rose Prayer

                              O Little Therese of the Child Jesus,
                               please pick for me a rose from the heavenly gardens
                               and send it to me as a message of love.

                               O Little Flower of Jesus,
                               ask God to grant the favors I now place
                               with confidence in your hands . .

                               (Mention 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.
