Say a Novena to St. Therese the Little Flower
St. Therese promised that she would shower roses from Heaven after her death. She also promised that those who prayed to her would always receive an answer. Her intercessory prayer is very powerful before the throne of God. This is a 5 DAY NOVENA to St. Therese.

Steps
- Say this prayer:"St. Therese, the Little Flower, please pick me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me with a message of love. Ask God to grant me the favor I thee implore and tell him I will love him each day more and more.
- Say the above prayer plus 5 Our Father’s, 5 Hail Mary’s, and 5 Glory Be’s each day.
- They must be said on 5 successive days before 11:00 am.
- On the 5th day the 5th set of prayers having been completed, offer one more set of 5 Our Father’s, 5 Hail Mary’s and 5 Glory Be’s.
Tips
- If you don't receive a rose by the 5th day, don't be discouraged. St. Therese is always listening and will answer you in God's Time. Continue with perseverance.
- Pray with Confidence.
- Try to say it the same time every day so you don't forget. (That is probably the reason why it is recommended saying the prayer before 11 a.m.)
Warnings
- This is prayer, not "magic". It is a spiritual devotion to help draw us closer to Jesus through the intercession of St. Therese.
- Remember, we don't get what we want. We receive from the Lord and His Father what is best for us. So pray with faith knowing your are being upheld and caressed.
- Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[c] just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith"
- This is vocal as well as mental prayer. Please try to concentrate on the meanings of the recited prayers and on mentally asking Jesus, "May Thy will be done." Our Lord hears and answers all prayers. This form of prayer simply engages the body as well as the mind, i.e. the whole person, while praying.
