St Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower, promised to spend her heaven doing good upon earth and to send down a shower of roses. This prayer asks her gentle intercession.
The Prayer
O little Therese of the Child Jesus,
please pick for me a 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.
Saint 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.
