Please remember in your prayers all whose who are suffering and in need of healing. May God bring peace and healing of mind, soul

Novena Prayer to St. Therese Feast Day: October 1
St. Therese, Flower of fervor and love, please intercede for us. Fill our hearts with your pure love of God. As we approach and
celebrate your feast day, make us more aware of the goodness of God and how well He tends His garden. Instill in us your little
way of doing ordinary things with extra-ordinary love.
Give us the heart of a child who wonders at life and embraces everything with loving enthusiasm.
Teach us your delight in God's ways so that divine charity may blossom in our hearts. Little Flower of Jesus, bring our petitions
(mention in silence here) before God, our Father. With your confidence, we come before Jesus as God's children,
because you are our heavenly friend. As we celebrate the Feast Day of your homecoming in heaven, continue to
shower roses and grace upon us. Amen
