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

St. Therese, I seek your help to score great and pass in my tomorrow’s exam and the rest of my final exams in this semester. I pray that I am only asked the questions in which I know the answers to. Help me to stay calm and confident, be focused and think clearly and quickly. Please, St. Therese intercede for me and I promise to make you known.
I love you and the Lord. Amen.
St Therese, please help me to be able to reach my full potential each day. Please help me to be able to focus and concentrate so that I can finish in time. Please allow me to receive the help and support that I desperately need.from my family to finish and to address and fix my surgical problem. Amen.
St. Therese please hear my prayers. Please take away my paralyzing fear of driving and help me in my search for a job. Lord Jesus please forgive me my sins and I will try to be more like St. Therese and do small acts of kindness everyday. Keep my family safe.
Oh St. Therese Of Lisieux, You have shown me so many signs in the past four months. I pray so much for the ability to fulfill even but a fraction of the love You have for Our Lord and Savior, Jesus. Please give me what I need to fulfill the responsibilities that God has given me. I desire so much to be able to continue to show His love to those who need help and love. Thank you St. Therese, I trust that you are showering roses upon my beloved mother, Phoebe who is in Heaven with you. Momma was intensely devoted to you and your little ways, St. Therese. May I always be of humble service to you and The Blessed Trinity of the Holy Catholic Church. jason
a few years ago I traveled to Europe. Stopped in France for two days on my way to Italy.
on the second day I visited the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. Upon entering the cathedral I felt an instant feelig of holiness I knew that I had stepped on holy grounds. As I approached the St. Therese part of the cathedral an I stared at the statue representing her a cold chill went went down my back. I have never had that feeling before or after that day.
I some how knew she was there and that she loked upon me.
I live St. Therese..have a statue of her brought back from Rome. Does anyone remember
a story in our Bible History or Lives of the Saints about the "little flower" as her dad or
grandfather called her. She woul;d dance around his rose garden and he said "you are
my "Little Flower". The picture showed her about 4 yrs old and a beautiful child. The
man in the picture had a long white beard. I would love to have the book with that story.
This would have been read in our classroom about 1943-1949.
St. Therese, I am glad I have discovered you I know I will receive my rose. Only you know the pain that I feel. Please intercede form me and help me with all my worries and concerns. Give me the strength and confidence that I desperately need to get through this situation. Please help me with my board exam so I can pass and get accepted to my first choice residency program and finish everything in time so then I can concentrate more on my own family.
St. Therese, please hear my desperate prayer.
This was so inspiring! I am now positive that she is the perfect saint to use for my Conformation name.
During my preparations of my board exams.. Two friends of mine recommended me to ask for help from St. Therese.. My friend told me, that if God will answer your prayer, St. Therese will show you any sign of flower. It could be a picture or a real one. I prayed to a statue of St. Therese on a church. When I returned back to the church, I saw a bouquet of roses on her statue. The result of my board exams was released last Friday night and very thankful that I've passed the board exams.. Thank you St. Therese!!!
My family's life was once touched by St. Therese. I prayed hard through her for a difficult decision. While I am in a meeting at a restaurant, I asked her to give me a sign so I could decide wisely. When I went out of the restaurant, I was surpried to see the hood of my car covered with white flowers that fell from the plants over the parking lot. To my amazement, there were other cars that are parked beside mine and it was only my car that was smothered with flowers. My prayers were answered and I made the right decision.
St Therese, please help me to make the right decision and please allow my application to be accepted without any problems. Amen
Please Help me to not get hurt and to live a holy life and get to heaven and follow your little way St.Therese
Blessed be god FOREVER
St. Therese, though I came here to ask for your help, I find myself knowing that there are others in greater need and I pray that you will help them.
Dear St. Therese, please help me pray to Jesus that I will receive a job offer from the company that I applied. I am desperately in need of a job right now.
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. Amen.
Please salvage my damaged relationship with John. May we reconcile to find a true, healthy, honest, holy, faithful and unconditional bond blessed by GOD. May God enter his life and may we walk on a holy path together. Shed him of the negative and evil emotions that consume him and cause him to behave in hurtful ways: anger, hatred, spite, the inability to forgive, the ability to me harsh, hurtful, and cruel, stubbornness, selfishness, pride and narcissism. Soften his heart and fill him with love and compassion. Give him a moment of clarity in which he realizes and cares about the pain he has inflicted upon me. Please help heal my damaged relationship. I am in emotional, mental and physical anguish with our current status, and I feel despondent and weak. I do not know how to mend our relationship and the only hope I have is you. I humbly beg you help John and me as we continue to fight and hurt each other. Please, I beg, lead him back to me- allow us to reunite soon.
"Almighty God, hear this prayer." Dear Lord, I offer you this prayer, to help me with my current relationship situation. Take away the pain and hurt in my heart. Fill it with love, joy, patience, and understanding. Bless me and my partner, so that we may never surrender to whatever challenges that come our way. Fill our hearts with love for each other, and may you make each one of us realize each other's worth. Please touch the heart of my partner, fill it with much love for me. Make our complicated relationship become uncomplicated. I seek for your mercy and blessing that you may allow us to spend the rest of our lives with each other. Please make this feeling mutual for both of us. Lead us not into temptations. Guide us wherever we go. Always put us in each other's heart and mind. Thank you Lord for hearing my prayer. I love you. Amen.
