Novena to St. Therese

Tomorrow I am starting a novena to St. Therese, the Little Flower - it will end on her feast day, October 1. There are many to choose from, but the one below is short and sweet. You are welcome to join me if you'd like!

Novena to Saint Therese of the Child Jesus

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 request)

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.

  1. I will! Thanks for the reminder. I totally forgot about Clara's other feast day (St. Clare), so I don't want to miss this one!

  2. Yay, thanks for the reminder!! For some reason I always think her feast day is Oct 4th... oops!
    This is the same Novena I've been doing since I was in 4th grade- I love how simple and easy to remember it is. No prayer card needed!
    Simple. That's our St Therese.
