  1. Thank you St Therese for answering my prayers! I got beautiful rose bush yesterday and today a man held the door open and had a st therese medal around his neck! Love yu and Jesus Christ our savior

  2. I prayed the 5 day novena to St Teresa and no immediate answer as many times in the past she had done. I’ve been praying for a new house to own with no money down and with in my budget . A place where it’s safe with good neighbors. I am renting me and my daughter for number of years now and I want to move by this May before renewal. It’s been two weeks in continuous prayer to St Teresa which I did the 24 glory to be novena to honor her . Yesterday I came home and my daughter had given me a bouquet of yellow roses. I am believing in my heart it is my answer to my prayers. I will have my own home before signing a renewal contract, paid in full debt free. Still able to pay my obligations on time and plenty left over. Thank you St Teresa for answering my prayers.

  3. I have just received three red roses and a yellow rose through the intercession of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. The three red roses symbolize prayers for my family, while the yellow one represents my love. I specifically asked St. Thérèse for a yellow rose as a sign of hope for my love, and the sequence of events unfolded accordingly. This experience provides me with hope to endure the current pain I am facing. I am now embracing St. Thérèse’s little ways and finding unity in my suffering with my Lord Jesus Christ.

    Thank you, Lord my God, for your abundant blessings. All praises and thanks to you. I extend my gratitude to St. Thérèse of Lisieux for interceding on behalf of my intentions. Additionally, I express my thanks to St. Jude, Bl. Carlo Acutis, St. Joseph, Mama Mary, my Mother, and to our Almighty God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  4. I prayed the 5 Day Rose Novena to St. Therese’. I did 5 consecutive days. All before 11 am. Following the prayer exactly and even on the 5th day, having completed the first set, I offered up another 5 Our Father’s, 5 Gail Mary’s, and 5 Glory To Be’s. 2 days later I received a bouquet of red roses at 10:37 pm. The message from my friend said, “…for some reason, I knew you needed theses.” I cried so hard. I was so thankful and truly touched. However, it’s been a couple weeks and my prayer hasn’t been answered. While I’m sad about that part, I still LOVE my roses. And they are still just as beautiful as the day I got them!

  5. Dear Saint Therese,
    I’ve be wounded in my heart by a man whom I was getting to know for 3 months, he seemed to be a respectable guy in the beginning but soon after seemed to be suspicious with he’s actions, he added a friend of mine whom he knew that she was my friend, and soon I revealed he’s suspicious action and things just didn’t go well from there, he admits not to have wanted anything from her but to only ask about me which was hard to believe at that moment, we then came back to each other but things weren’t going smoothly after that as he repeated the same actions I openly talked to him about, but in the end I couldn’t tolerate he’s behaviour so I left him, but deep down in my heart I ask in prayer that this person soon regrets what they have done and to hopefully apologise to me, because what they did wasn’t something small, I pray to you Terese to soften he’s heart, I must admit I do miss him a bit but at the same time I need Gods will to work in my life and I ask for a miracle as I have this empty spot in me after what he did to me and do hope he at least confronts me even though we’re not meant to be together. I ask this with all my heart.
    Lord have mercy on me a sinner .
    May it be your will Lord.
    Amen

  6. St Therese I prayed to you for a miracle to heal my kidney disease. You sent me roses , which made me so happy, but my last medical tests did not show any improvement in my kidney function. Please do not give up on me and continue to intercede on my behalf for a cure for my disease. I will continue to pray and hope things will improve for me. I really need your help 🙏

  7. Thank you, St. therese for being there with me during my job interview. I just found out I got the job! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

    I do have an even bigger ask. All these months, I have been praying for a promotion, and when I got it, I realize there are more important things in life- health and family.

    St. Therese, just as you have always been there for me, please also be there for my nephew Lyle, who is fighting for his life right now. He deserves your help so much more than me. He really needs you right now. His broken hearted parents really need you right now. Please, please, please, be there for him.

    I promise to be more devoted and spread the word about your miracles., so that more people will follow Jesus and God. We are in a desperate situation right now, one that requires a miracle. Please, St. Therese, pray for Lyle.

  8. I prayed to St. Jude Novena and my prayers were answered today. My son and son-in-law adopted their 9 month old today. There way a delay in the adoption but the case against the child got thrown out of court. The judge could see he was in the best home and is so loved!🙏

  9. Dear Saint Therese, I recognize and thank you so much for the roses and flowers you have sent me as they have been so comforting. I feel so close to you as we are close in age and I am technically a “florist”. Thank you Saint Therese for your comfort. Please aid me in the repair of my broken relationship with Salvatore. Please soften his heart, feel and remember our good times, help us to both heal, mature and clear our minds. Help him to see how much I love him and the pain I feel and how special what we shared was. Please help us Saint Therese. I beg for your intercession. Thank you I love you. Pray for me Saint Therese. Glory to God forever and always. Keeping my faith strong.

  10. I prayed to St. Theresa for something that was impossible. I asked for a yellow rose if she heard my prayer. Immediately I began receiving yellow roses. It went on for over a week. Then suddenly my prayer was answered. Thank you St. Theresa not only for sending me roses but for helping my faith in God to grow.

  11. St. Therese answered my prayers for an impossible request. I received confirmation of this when little white wildflower daisies suddenly sprouted on my front yard as I was completing the novena. Thank you St. Therese! I’m truly grateful!

  12. I came to know about St Therese after many months of begging Jesus and our blessed mother for help; and throughout this journey St Therese had always popped out when I tried to seek for answers. I never understood the signs initially but eventually, i gave in and asked St Therese for her help.

    I had asked for St Therese’s intercession to aid in my relationship and various other issues that have been plaguing me over the last few months. Every time I prayed and asked for her help, I would consciously look for signs from her, in particular the roses that she would give as a sign that God has heard my prayers. Trust me I begged her for to give me the signs.

    After days of prayers, I gave up and felt that God had given up on me but trust me HE work in interesting ways. Last week, i participated in a program to feed the poor on the streets (I normally dont do such things) and during that time, I was overwhelmed with a sense of deep love. I embraced this feeling and everytime I knelt to give food to those on the streets, I told Jesus, “This is for you”.

    Towards the end of the program, when I least expected it, I walked by a lady who was seated on a chair outside a store and in her hands, she held a beautiful rose. (This was weird, as it was already late in the evening and she wasn’t selling anything. She was just seated there, looking blankly).

    At that moment, I was overwhelmed with the feeling that the Little Flower had interceeded for me and the Lord will assist me to do the necessary. Right after the food distribution program, I’d say that I could see small “little”
    changes happening.

    I promised the Little Flower that I would spread the news of her good works, so more will come to her and deepen their relationship with the Lord.

    Pray for me St Therese, for my faith is weak.

  13. I prayed to St. Therese years ago about the same Guy and she answered my prayers. We are now in a broken place and I’m praying to St Therese again for help to heal us both and clear our minds. God brought us together for a reason, I know we need help from God. St Therese please soften his heart, fill his heart with love and joy from me. I pray he will come back for the last time and we will work through the problems and become stronger. Pray for us.

  14. I prayed to St. Therese for a special intention and she answered my prayers. St. Therese seems to hear my prayers and responds quickly and she helps me through some difficult times in my life. I am now praying to St. Therese for a friend for a special intention.
    I know she will come through for my friend.

  15. Please pray for my daughter Aimee who is patiently waiting for acceptance in her university for a Nursing program. Through St. Therese’ intercession, God’s will be shown soon. Hoping for a white rose from St. Therese for answered prayer. God Bless!

  16. Thank you St. Therese for hearing and answering my prayers. Please hear my prayer for a new job and I promise to stop off at your basilica in Lisieux to give thanks.
    St. Therese, please pray for us.

  17. Thank you at. Therese. I kept praying to you for almost two years and you co tinued to send me roses the whole time. I was praying for an impossible request. I really thought my prayers wouldn’t be answered. But you came through for me and I will be forever greatful! I thank the Lord for giving you to us. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for praying for us.
    Thank you for all the roses. They kept me strong. Our Lord truly knows how weak I am and those roses strengthened my faith in him. I’m sorry that my faith is so weak. I’m working on it and I continue to pray to God for the grace of faith. Thank you for everything St. Therese. Please continue to hear the prayers of those who ask for your intercession. To God be all the Glory!

  18. Greeting,
    During our last Novena (Immaculate Conception) I petitioned Our Blessed Mother to grant that my brother may become receptive to rehabilitation for his dependence on alcohol and for the provision of a tenant for a property that was recently vacated. And she granted both.
    Please join me in thanking her and praising our Lord.

  19. Thank you little flower for answering my prayers. On the eighth day of my 24 glory Be novena I was left a sign. I will be forever grateful to St Therese

  20. Thank you St Therese for answering my prayers for my son by means of a miracle. 13 days after your feast day and after my novena of the 24 glory be.I am forever grateful to you ❤️💕🌹🌹🌹💐🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

  21. I’m praying through this novena to St. Therese, that God will bless me with a good job that would give me peace of mind and I’ll be happy doing to the glory of God. Amen

  22. A miracle didn’t happen right away my dearest ST. Therese, but it happened today. 13 days after I completed my novena. St. Therese has been there to intercede for me to my Heavenly Father. I truly have a lot of faith in her. I didn’t get discouraged when it didn’t happen right away. I knew there was a reason for making me wait for such good news. I am truly blessed and grateful.
    Thank you, E. Garza

  23. Please st Teresa pray for my son. Just had brain tumor removed yesterday
    Praying biopsy comes back benign . I need a christmas miracle

  24. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, ST. THERESE. YOU NEVER FAIL ME! I am beyond grateful.

    I thought I’d share this experience with you all. My heart feels really full with so much love and gratitude and I want to share this with you all as a sign of gratitude for this prayer community.

    I’ve been on a breakup for quite some time now. I kept on praying ever since. On the last day of my recent novena, my partner contacted me and said some really kind words. In that instant I received the message, I felt tears running down my face. IT FELT SURREAL. I did not expect it to happen at that time. I immediately prayed to St. Therese and THANKED HER and asked for guidance. Tears continue to run down my face because of so much happiness and shock and awe. Fast forward, I replied and we talked for a while. The conversation ended in a beautiful, calm way.

    I still pray to St. Therese that soon, our conversations would never have to end. I still pray for a beautiful continuation of our story. But for now, I am always hopeful that St. Therese listens and will intercede and pray for me like a sister, a friend and a mighty saint. With everything that has happened to me and everything that is happening, I know St. Therese and the Lord are always there for me. St. Therese never fails to assure me that she is always there. Whenever I ask for a sign, she always listens and show up in amazing ways.

    Please help me pray for the restoration of our relationship, that soon we’ll be able to get back together through the Lord’s will and St. Therese’s intercession and guidance. I pray for a Christmas miracle.

    God bless you all!

  25. 🌼 THANK YOU St Therese for all the guidance and love you have given me over the past few months. I have been going through a break up for 3 months. I kept on praying for us to get back together. Still no resolution but within those months, whenever I ask St. Therese for a sign, she is ALWAYS there mostly in the form of roses. A lot had happened between me and my partner, some good and some bad. Yesterday, we decided to start healing on our own first. It felt calm and pure and happy. And I saw yellow flowers on my feed. It was flooding with yellow flowers. I asked St. Therese for a sign of a yellow rose/flower before if my partner and I are going to get back together. And there she was, doing miracles. It might not happen now but I trust in St. Therese and her intercessions for me. She has never failed me. Never. It was a miracle that my partner and I talked calmly and happy yesterday. Maybe soon, we will be able to get back together in God’s time. I still continue to pray to St. Therese for my petitions that soon all my prayers will be answered. THANK YOU THANK YOU St. Therese. I LOVE YOU! The world deserves to know your kindness. Amen.

  26. I started doing these novenas about a year ago. I love them, I love the email reminders and I wanted to share my story amongst others. During the St. Therese novena, I was very busy and stressed for I was trying to get approved for my first new home. During the stressful days and long nights, I had to be working on top of being a mother and fiancee. I wouldn’t forget my novena no matter what time of the day it was. On day 8 of the novena, we did our closing on the house and I am happily living in the house already! Truly blessed.

  27. i know its not the feast of st . Theresa but i had the novena on my mailbox and i have so many pressing issues so i decided to do the novena on my own. Asking for a job and other things. At the ninth day of the novena my former employer sent me a message to come back to work. I also left my wallet at the train station the same and it was found later without anything missing. I am really grateful to God.

  28. I said the St. Theresa of lisieux and the St Joseph Novena. Praying for God’s direction on on getting a job.
    The week I finished the novena I got two jobs of which I had to choose one and I have resumed. I thank God for everything!

  29. My father is dying from COVID. He is 82 and alone in a hospital. My mother, 75, also has COVID. Please pray that my dad is surrounded with the love of Jesus.

  30. Please join me to thank our good God for HIS miracles. My son just passed his senior secondary examination in flying colours!

    The whole family is very grateful, thankful to God.

  31. I prayed for my friend who was searching to buy a house and her search was fruitless, I prayed for her to get a good house in a good location within her budget and she was blessed and God answered favorably by even getting it for her below her budget thus rendering her debt free as tha was her aim of down sizing
    Glory and honor to you Lord Jesus Christ

  32. Dear God, through the intercession of St Jude, thank you for sparing us from harm during the Super typhoon Rolly. I cannot thank you enough.

  34. Please join my family and I to thank God for answered prayers on behalf of our daughter Theresa
    she saw her menstruation for the first time at age 14 and after then, it was always unstable, sometimes, 6 months, 8 months even one year, she will not see her period.
    we kept praying for it to be normal, done several tests, but no dramatic change.
    Then we joined in the novena to St Theresa who is her patron saint.
    Her 21st birthday is this October 20th and just few days before before then, her period came..
    The last time she saw her mensuration was last in February!

    please glorify the Lord with us and pray that this miracle remains permanent.

    let her mensuration continue to flow every month like how it ought to be normally in Jesus name.

  46. I asked for the fruit of the womb and I have conceived. Thanks be to the Almighty God for an answered prayer.
    Continue to pray for me

  47. I prayed for “faith, family, fertility”. A week after the novena finished and after years of suffering, I was connected with a new OBGYN who took the appropriate steps diagnose me with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). This answer has been hard, but gives me hope for how to conceive in the future.

  48. During the novena to St. Therese, my son, who was laid off due to Covid, had many interviews. I am happy to say that he now has a good job. I kept praying, “Little Flower, in this hour, show your power.” Thank you St. Therese for hearing my prayer.

  49. I want to thank God for answered prayers from past Novenas…

    Water was found and a bole drilled, I now have water for home and farm use. Lord I can not thank you enough.

    I now have electricity after almost 4 years of pursueing our electricity company…Issues of corruption are too much, but God you did it for me without corruption. How can I thank you Lord?

  52. My son Vincent did not suffer a mental relapse and he received the blessing of affordable health care insurance. Thank you for your prayers. AMEN!

  53. I have prayed the St. Theresa novena several times in my life and have felt that she always helped to answer my prayers. This time, I am asking St. Theresa to help my husband find a job. She has sent me so many roses over the past several weeks. However, no job yet. Please pray for us! Thank you!!

  54. My daughter’s contract was renewed at the conclusion of the prayers. Continue praying for me so that other petitions are fulfilled.

  55. I had asked for intervention for my young granddaughter’s schoolwork. Like so many of our children caught up in the COVID schooling mess, she had lost considerable ground. She was struggling with self esteem issues as a result. Testing on Day 7 of the Novena showed improvement 24 points above “goal” in reading and she has regained her skills in basic addition/subtraction that she had lost. Multiplication and division concept grasp seemingly came overnight!! During the novena my daughter commented that she didn’t know why my granddaughter’s zeal for reading had returned so suddenly. I know and I am so filled with joy and gratitude.

  56. Thank you St Therese !
    My daughter is engaged, pregnant and planning her wedding. She is refusing to have her wedding in a catholic church, or any church for that matter..
    I have been so distraught that she is turning away from her faith. I continue to help her with her planning, hoping that she will see the “light”.
    During this novena, we went to the florist to arrange for flowers for her wedding… Heartbroken I was when she told the florist she was getting married at the venue. After booking the florist, as we were leaving, the owner gave each of us a bouquet of roses! I took this as a sign my prayers for a catholic wedding would be answered. A few weeks later,. my daughter called me to say “we can go to church and see if they have my date available”. We went, the date is available and we are now planning her wedding in our church!

  57. My son was going through a tough time trying to figure out who he is (adopted) and grades started dropping in school and started using drugs. I prayed the Novena asking St Therese to intervene and help him get motivated and stay focused in school, to turn from drugs/alcohol/bad influence friends and to put Jesus in his heart/mind and soul. He did not know I was praying this Novena and a couple of days later he asked me to pick him up from work and he walks out with a dozen of beautiful red roses and a note saying he will try to get his life together- he promises me and he loves me! He never says I Love You! So very thankful for that moment and looking forward to watching him grow into the fine young man Jesus intended him to be. Thank you St Theresa!
