St. Therese of Lisieux, Roses, and the Novena Rose Prayer
" I will let fall from Heaven a shower of roses."
~ St. Therese of Lisieux
This is the time of year (at least in the midwestern part of the United States) that roses are blooming. With all the rain we have had here lately, they are growing abundantly. Roses always remind me of my dear friend, St. Therese, who often interecedes for me. I can really use her prayers for a special intention now, so I am going to begin the nine day novena to her today. Please feel free to join me in praying for your special intention(s).
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 today to grant the favors I now place with confidence in your hands...(mention petitions)
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.
(Say this prayer for nine days and St. Therese will send you a rose!)
