St. Therese of Lisieux

We chose this Saint because she is my favorite Saint and I pray to her every night to help me be a good person, mother, teacher, and friend.

In order to be like St. Therese I should look for little ways that I can be a blessing to others like St. Therese was.

St. Therese of Lisieux

O Little Therese of the Child Jesus, please pick for mea 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 requests). 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.
