Novena to Saint Thérèse — The Little Flower

Traditionally September 22–30, ending on the eve of her feast, October 1

Nine days on the Little Way with St. Thérèse of Lisieux, who promised to let fall a shower of roses from Heaven.

Daily Prayer

Prayed each of the nine days

O Little Thérèse 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 [here name your request]. St. Thérèse, 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. You taught that nothing is too small to offer to God, and that love gives value to every act. Obtain for me the grace to do small things with great love, to trust in God's mercy as a child trusts a father, and to abandon myself entirely to His will. Amen.
