Today we celebrate the Memorial of Saint Therese of Lisieux, known as the Little Flower, who died at Carmelite Community in Lisieux on 30 September 1897. She was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II in 1997 and is Patron of the Missions. We remember all missionaries in our prayers today…

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 in silence here)

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
