Tuesday's with Saint Therese

Many people, MANY people, have prayed to Saint Therese and received as an answer roses. Saint Therese herself said that she would spend her heaven doing good upon earth, sending down a shower of roses from heaven. And she has kept that promise that she made just before she died.

I have received quite a few roses from Saint Therese myself. I have never put a "stipulation" on what color rose to receive or how to receive it (I've read that people have asked her for a specific color rose and received it!) And I've never DIRECTLY prayed asking her to send me a rose as a "sign" but she has sent me a few. There also has been many other times when I've asked her intercession and NOT received a rose. But I have never taken that as meaning that she isn't listening and doing her best at interceding for me!

The novena that I use the most asking her intercession isn't a very long one. But it always brings me great peace and comfort. So for today's "Tuesday with Saint Therese" I decided to share it here. Place your intentions in this saint's hands and leave them there with confidence knowing that she has much favor with God!

O Glorious Saint Therese, whom almighty God has raised up to aird 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 promise of spending Heaven doing good upon earth...of letting fall from Heaven a Shower of Roses. Little Flower, give me your childlike faith, to see the Face of God in people and experiences in my life, and to love God with full confidence. Saint 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.

Saint Therese's Rose Prayer Novena

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 today to grant the favors I now place with confidence in your hands...(Mention specific requests). Saint 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.
