My First Rose from St. Therese
I think I received my first “rose” from the lovely Saint Therese of Lisieux! I am so amazed! I have just finished reading her book “The Story of a Soul,” and after seeing how much love she has for Jesus and how often her prayers were answered for even some of the most difficult things, I decided to pray to her for a specific request.
Over the last few days, I have been praying to ask for her intercession, and first thing this morning, just after finishing a prayer to her, I headed outside to take out the dog and pick up the paper. I opened up the newspaper while outside only to find the whole page filled with pink roses and a story about how to decorate your home using roses. My first rose …
For those of you unfamiliar with St. Therese of Lisieux, she describes herself as God’s Little Flower, one of the least of his flock. In her book, she says she asked the Lord why there need to be flowers like daffodils when there are beautiful flowers like roses. He answered that the spring would not be so beautiful without all the flowers — great and small.
When people pray to her, she often grants them a rose is some form or another. Read these St. Therese intercession stories for some examples. It’s quite amazing.
I look forward to continuing to pray to St. Therese and I have decided to choose her as my confirmation saint. I hope I have many more roses yet to come :).
[…] my discernment of who should be my confirmation saint, I quickly felt called toward St. Teresa of Avila and St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower. […]
Prayer For the Second Coming of Jesus –
I pray that Jesus Christ returns to Earth soon, to bring the eternal love and peace of the Kingdom of God to all who believe in Him, and for every knee to bow to Him, and for every tongue to confess that Jesus is Lord at His return. Amen.

Please pray that my 21 year old daughter will stay away from getting drunk and sexual immorality and sexual activity. She had her heart broken by a decent Catholic boy. I pray that God will bring another decent Catholic boy into her life for a respectful, chaste relationship and that in her fragile and empty state, she will not gravitate into a relationship with someone who is not good for her. St. Therese has powerfully interceded for me in the past.I , again, beseech her for her powerful intercession. Thank you for lifting her up in prayer!
Hi Maria-
I will lift her up in prayer to St. Therese. She is a powerful intercessor for me too! Have a blessed day. Lyn

Thank you all.
Please pray for my son Andrew’s heart to be healed from this terrible disease that is turning his organs into scar tissue. He is facing sudden death when the scar tissue in his heart takes over. He has a small son he is so very close to. Ryder adores his daddy!! Please don’t take Andy away from him. Ryder would be given directly to his birth mom who would abuse him and keep him from our family that he loves. She is mentally ill and alcoholic and homeless. He is terrified of living on the streets with her like he has before when she doesn’t have a boyfriend.
Hi Sandra, I just prayed for him and will keep him on my list. God bless you and your family :).

Hello Maria,
I was touched by your request for intercession regarding your daughter. Saint Therese is my confirmation Saint and I have a great affinity to anything related to her. My daughter had been through similar circumstances. I was consoled by the fact that God creates good out of every circumstance. I will pray for you and with you. My daughter found her purpose after being lost for many years and I can tell you that it was a heartbreak at times, staying close to her in spite of my daughter’s reckless decisions. Just know that God hears all prayers and like St. Augustine said ” Our hearts are reatless until they rest unto Thee.” God hasn’t abandoned us despite our wanderings. He loves us unconditionally, but wants so badly to have us come to Him. Like St. Padre Pio said “Pray, and don’t worry.” We are working on God’s time and His ways are not our ways. His redemption is ever ready to save us.
God love you and your child
Beautiful comment, Jen. Thanks so much for posting! 🙂
Please pray for my beloved brother Joe who has metastatic oropharyngeal cancer to the spine, kidney and now his liver . He was the best big brother a girl could ask for . He is 11 years older than me and and he was so loving and attentive after our father abandoned my mother with 7 kids ages 6 months to 16 years old . His birthday is October 1 , The Feast of Saint Theresa the Little Flower . I pray she intercedes for Joe to give him physical , emotional and spiritual sustenance . Amen .
Hi Siobhan, we will pray for him!
Thank you for sharing you story on your first Rose from St. Theresa. She is absolutely amazing. I love her, I believe in her and I will always pray to her and through her to Jesus. She is his servant and his little flower.
Amen!
