St. Therese of Lisieux Comments
Generations of Catholics have admired this young saint, called her the "Little Flower", and found in her short life more inspiration for own lives than in volumes by theologians. Yet Therese died when she was 24, after having lived as cloistered Carmelite for less than ten years. She never went on missions, never founded a religious order, never performed great works. The only book of hers, published after her death, was an brief ... Continue Reading

Hi!
My literal full first name is Angelica Therese. I was born exactly 100 years after Saint Therese died, and I haven't read the whole page, but I read the summary of her story. Her story reflects, not all, but many parts of my life. I'm only a 10th grader, but my life has been up and down and up and down in so many ways that I never could understand. Maybe Saint Therese felt like this often. Her story is such an inspiration, and it makes me want to focus more on the Saints, inspirational stories, and my spiritual life as Catholic compared to all the other things out there that a teenager can do like Facebook, Twitter, watch TV. To be honest, I'm not that devoted yet... hahaha I still watch a lot of TV, am a bit lazy at times, and do lots of the things that regular teenagers do, but I truly believe that one reason these stories were preserved were to tell others about the wonders of God even after hundreds ad even thousands of years. If any of you have any great Saints worth sharing, please share them with me! It would really mean a lot to me for you to share your faith. I actually am planning to start reading a story of a Saint or something inspiring every night. Especially when I can't go to sleep. (If you read through this entire message, you are a true individual... hahaha ^_^)
God bless, and may Saint Therese's story touch your heart and plant a little side inside.
Angelica Therese =)
Is so remarkable every time. Amazingly, I'm always stunt be on the last. Two times in one week I've gotten this Page of St.Therese. I was not on this website. I question myself the first time. She is one of my top Saints and have all that is in her regard. So I being in a huge drama to say the least, after saving the page for some confirmation reason . Is something I do out of habit, with no knowledge at the moment. I do try to live by the will of the FATHER. I landed on the same page, again just now. So I ask St.Therese what's going on. Then I remembered I had asked a question the other day. To the Lord. I said, oh my God, who did I asked the question to and what was it? ?? I always tell my Lord, that since no one can hear us, give me the confirmation. I'm very ill so is the not easy to remember things. Long story. .. I remember! !!! I asked Our Lord if St.Therese is letting me know she's with me? Then I started to feel overwhelmed and my tears, as the pictures came to mine. My ex-husband had brought to me this plant with these special flowers that aren't common. I saved the page again. Thank You my Lord and St.Therese. I bare a HUGE CROSS. I learned at the beginning of my chosen way of my journey. I have very SPECIAL SPIRITUAL PRIESTS. Just to help me with a long the way. This is way I'm able to receive my way to the Cross with PEACE and with who's help. St.Therese you are so awesome. I pray this helps some one. God Bless.
St there I pray and flower me with roses...my daughter colitis has returned I ask for her healing wand to protect her and take way her pain..please st Therese wirh all my heart...
Saint Therese, you have been a well known presence in my house since I was a young girl. My loving Mom had a devotion to you and told me about you and your loving, Christ-like ways. Now, as mother of 2 precious girls, I too, share your memory and life stories with my girls. Thank you for your intercession in the prayers my Mom prayed to you so that my husband and I would someday have a family of our own. Our girls are the greatest gift we could have ever received. Our greatest prayer is that we give them a foundation in Faith that will carry them through this earthly life until Heaven is their eternal reward, where we can all be together forever with you and all God's marvelous saints! (After a long life and happy life on earth if that be God's will!). JMJ. I miss you mom and dad and thank you for your wonderful, loving examples of true Faith and Love. Keep praying for us. "Until Heaven."
Dear Saint Therese of Lisieux has been my dearest sister since I was a young girl. As I taught primary grades at a Catholic School all my 230 students prayed the "Novena Rose Prayer" of St. Therese each day and after Holy Mass on Friday morning. Each of the nine classrooms had a prayer center to dear St. Therese. Our daughter is named after St. Therese . . . Therese Francoise. I believe in what St. Therese promised that after her death she would spend her heaven doing dood on earth. One day I hope to truly meet St. Therese of the Child Jesus. THANK YOU dear St. Therese for your blessed life and story and Thank you Sister Celine, her sister for all the photos. St. Therese be with all the priests who have died.... in life you prayed and helped them....so to in death. I love you.
Please show me your love and compassion and look over me dearest St. Theresa. I beg you to show me the way to find true peace, health of mind and wellness.
Cascades of roses to my friends and family
St Therese, I desperately need a permanent resolution to this soon. I can not keep going on like this. Please help them to understand. Please let the approaches I am taking be successful and please help me to receive the support that I so desperately need. Please give those who are already helping me the strength to continue to do so. Please help my mum and extended family to realise I am doing everything for the right reaseons and to work with me instead of against me. Please help them to see how much pain and suffering I am going through and to really listen to what I am trying to tell them. I have been praying for all of this for a very long time and have said many novenas to you, but I am still yet to receive a rose. I feel so disheartened. Each day is becoming more and more of a struggle. Every time I try to do the right thing and clear a path to get back on track, it backfires. I no longer have the strength or energy to constantly start over. I desperately need support from my family to get through this, but instead they want to work against me because they feel like I am doing everything for the wrong reason. I do not know where else to turn. I just need them to accept and understand what I am trying to say before it's too late. Please, St Therese, I beg you to please intercede for me and help me through this extremely difficult time. Please hear and answer my prayer and send me a rose. Amen.
St Therese, I am desperate. I feel like I have been abandoned. Please help everyone to understand. Amen
St Therese, please be with me and help me to resolve in 2013 the problems that I have been dealing with for the last several years. Please let my family understand and help me.Please give me the strength and ability I need to get through this. Please hear and answer my prayer. Amen.
St Therese.
I have had a terrible time in the last several years. I have prayed to Our Lord and to You for such a long time asking for help but feel that I'm on my own. I feel like I'm losing my faith and there is no one to turn to. I ask for a rose everyday but feel like no one is listening. Tomorrow marks the start of another year and I pray for my terrible times to pass.
St Therese, please intercede for me and hear and answer my prayers. Amen
Dear Saint Therese, I made my novena to you and on the 9th day received a beautiful pink rose from you. What a wonderful sign from you that gives me so much courage! You truly are listening to my prayers. Please support me with issues I have with family especially property and being excluded because of greed on behalf of my siblings. And St Therese please also answer my prayers which are now so pressing and urgent. Thank you.
Love,
Liz

St Therese, I am not coping at all and I am running out of time. Please help everyone to understand and be supportive so that I can sort everything out soon. Please give me strength
Her autobiography " Story of a Soul " has helped me to deal with the cancer that has stricken me, I know that St Therese of Lisicux has already helped me in so many ways, thru my periods of depression and coming to realize that I'am mortal and I was so afraid to die, but anyone who needs her help thru our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ - pray to her and she will shower you with her spiritual flowers from heaven as she promised.
There are many Saints waiting for someone to ask for their help, St Theresa has helped with a communion of others that I pray to everyday for help thru Jesus Christ to lighted my cross when it becomes to heavy for me to carry.
God Bless and I will keep you in my prayers, and if you have a moment during the day please keep me in your prayers.
