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, please let my family understand how critically important it is for me to get my application granted and be willing to support me and advocate for me on my behalf. Please come into the hearts of those making the decision and let them be willing, able and have the power to grant my request in view of my exceptional cuircumstances. Please help them to have the compassion and authority to do so. Please help me through this extremely difficult time. Amen.
I was so amazed at how Therese lived her life. She has inspired me to live life to the fullest. I chose her as my Confirmation saint for this reason. She has shown me her love and support in her "little ways." She touched my heart with her life story, in a way that I will never forget.
St. Therese: Pray for us!
I can't belive how incredibly inspiring St. Therese is... It truly is the little things that count. Its amazing how she always was striving for sainthood but thought she could never get there. Now St. Terese is a Doctor of the Church! As soon as I read this boigraphy, there was no doubt in my mind that St. Terese will be my Confirmation saint. I can't wait to be Confirmed!
St Therese, please be with me and help me through this extremely difficult time. Please allow my application to be granted and please help everything to be explained correctly so that this can occur. Please give those making the decision kindness and compassion so that they understand and can grant my request in view of my circumstances (and please let them have the authority to do so). I kniow this is part of what I need to move forward. Please help my family to be there and help and support me through this and realise why I so desperately need this and why it is so critically important. Please let my family also realise that I need to address my health issues at the same time but that I am still committed to everything else just as much and to be there for me regarding these too. Please give me the strength, endurance and capicity that I need to get through all of this and grace and determination to work out the best way to go about fixing everything in a tiomely manner. Amen.
I pray every hour to Mother Mary for my 27 year old grandaughter who got caught up in high school with a drug dealer. When she got pregnant at age 20, she went off of drugs and was clean for 7 years. Mean while the Father threatened her and through rape, she has 2 more children. She tried to get away, but finally she has to give the children to the Foster Home System. I love those children and she does too. I pray that she will meet the right people to get her a job and be able to take care of these beautiful children. She tried to get help through the church and Catholic Charities, but there is no help coming. I pray she will find the right people to helpl her. I don't have the finances to help her, as Ihavae in the past. I will lpray to St. Therese.

Please let the people making the decision have the compassion and the authority to accept my request. Please help my family to understand and help me and be supportive. Amen.

How do I know if my prayer is gonna be answered and that I just have to wait and be patient? I truly feel my prayer is gonna be answered but what if I'm wrong? I've asked Saint Therese to come and my dream and tell me if I'm right or not but she hasn't.
Saint Therese of Lisieux, whose impossible desires were fulfilled, please remember me in your prayers! I, too, desire the impossible. I long to find a life partner, to resume my education and to have a fulfilling vocation that will glorify the Lord and inspire people. I was in love once, long ago, and I cannot find anyone else like him. I am afraid I lost my chance. Please pray that we might meet again. I had to withdraw from the university several years ago and desperately want to return. My re-application for next semester has already been accepted. Please pray that the resources needed will flow from a place of excess to my place of need. I think I know what my life calling is. Please pray that God will confirm this and that he will bless my efforts.
Thank you for the white roses you have sent every day for so many days!
You came to me in a dream and offered to help me. You gave me so much peace through out the dream and made it clear to me. Before that dream I knew nothing about you and feel ashame of that. Please forgive my ignorance and accept my apology. I do need your help, I am in a very difficult situation and do need you. Please help me and take the pain and depression away from my heart, help me be happy again. Thank you so much for that dream, for it has brough me faith, hope and courage.
I will be now loyal to you for I know you came to me. Thank you for renewing my faith in God and all Saints. AMEN
St Therese, please help me to get through this. I desperately need everything to work out so that I can move forward. Please help everyone to understand , believe in me and give me the help and support that I need. Please allow my further application to be approved. Please help me to be able to focus and concentrate and get a substantial amount done each day. I feel like I am very close to breaking point and I ask for you to hear my prayer. Amen.
About a month ago and as I was struggling, I went to St Therese of Lisieux church in Westchester, NY. I aksed for a favor and I felt that I was supposed to make a small sacrifice and leave behind a real picture of st Therese laying in her coffin, surrounded with roses. My sister had given me this picture a few years back and it meant a lot to me. However I kept thinking it was time for me to let it go; someone needed it more than I, is what i could feel. As I struggled to leave it behind, I suddenly felt at peace at the idea that something greater would return to me....the next day, I received a package from a good friend from France. In it, was a vintage prayer card of St Therese which had belonged to her grandmother...at the end of the card, I could see a little piece of rectangle, sown with red thread; to my amazement, it read that this cloth had touched the Saint. St Therese, how much I love you...Thank you for all your help for me, my daughter and all of us who call upon you.
St. Theresa. I have prayed for you the last eight days. Today was the ninth and you miraculously showed me a sign of the flower. I trust and believe that my prayer has been answered in the best way possible. Thank you- I will forever worship you and spread the word of your kindness and benificence. May AW see me as a romantic partner. Thank you
Please ask Jesus to grant Stephen the job location in Chicago, to keep Kate on the right track and lead her back to God. Therese, please aid Father A. and bless him. Always help
me to continue in your little way. I love Jesus.
St Therese, please allow me to be able to finish in time and please let my surgical problem be addressed. Please help me to focus and concentrate and give me the support that I need so that I can move forward in these. Amen.
