  1. Thank you Lord Jesus for answering my prayers and St. Theresa praying for me and on my behalf interceding.
    I had no money pay rent and bills
    Today on her feast day I get a call to pick up a check.

  2. As a convert I am not really familiar with the nuances of being aware when prayers are being answered. I had a close friend I work with in our women’s league that explained to me the wonderment that was exciting me when thinks around me seemed hard to comprehend. She asked me if I had seen any roses this week. I had but only a large one printed on paper. After perusing my week I had seen little roses too! St. Therese of the little flower! Other scenarios came to light and I realized St. Therese was interceding for me. Thus, it was very powerful and I am truly blessed by this Novena! I will be much more aware of God’s beautiful world and people working in my life now! I have found my Saint!🙏🏻

  3. I prayed to St. Theresa for my daughter who has been looking for work. For a good permanent job with benefits. I am pleased to say that my daughter is showing interest, got her resume done and is now registered with an agency who is helping her look for a job. It’s a start and I am grateful to St. Theresa for hearing my earnest prayer to her. I also pray for everyone else’s intentions. God bless.

  4. I was able to be on my feet pushing my Walker for over 2 hours with no pain. I felt I could lift my feet. I w.as at the quilt show and met many of my quilt guild friends and see their treasures they made. I am so blessed to be part of the group.

  5. I had a minor setback with second surgery which delay the start of chemo. My incision heals properly. Thank you St. Therese for answered prayer.my dear saint, please continue to intercede for me while I am in chemo that everything will go well. Thank you for being my model to live simple life and to trust in Jesus with childlike faith.

  6. My sons best friend woke up from sedation of brain surgery, I’m so thankful for St. Therese intersation also for granting my son a lot of strength while his helping his best friend Philip, Thank you St. Therese, Amen🙏

  7. I’ve struggled with perfectionism my entire life, thinking no one could love me unless I was perfect, and for a long time this applied to God, too. Well, this novena, I finally asked the Lord, through St. Therese’s intercession, to rid me of my perfectionism completely. A few days into the novena, I began to notice that I was battling with my perfectionism and more aware of it and thus able to better work through it. I also forgot that St. Therese herself struggled with scruples and if any saint could help me overcome this, it would be her. Praise be to God for such a blessing! Thank you, St. Therese!

  8. Thank you St. Therese for praying and interceding for my sin-in-lawcand daughter. Because of your prayer they are now covid free. You showered roses again in our family. Thank you so much.

  9. My intention was for a lovely memory care facility for my mom. I had spoken with 2 different people that told me the Catholic nursing home in our area had a several year wait list. After asking St. Therese to intercede, they were able to accept my mom and she is moving in Monday. I continue to ask for St. Therese’s intercession as she becomes adjusted. All praise and glory to God!

  10. Today, the last day of the novena I received a text from my son saying he got a job, the first for his new business. Then this evening he texted me again saying he got another call today! Thank you St. Therese & thank all of you for your prayers! Praise God.

  13. My sister had Covid and has been very sick on a ventilator. She is doing so much better. Thanking God everyday she is still with us.

  14. I prayed for my health after a severe migraine coupled with diverticulitis that put me overnight in the hospital. I got completely healed instantly, like on the first or second day of the novena, after being sick for a month. Thank you Saint Therese of the Child Jesus

  23. I am praying that my son will be healed of any need for any chemicals that are either illegal or unsafe, that he will not buy or distribute any of those same chemicals and that he will find new friends who do not ask for any of these chemicals, and that he will get a good full-time job with benefits like others his age.

  25. Dear St. Theresa Thank you for helping me to have Faith and answering one of my prayers and I know the other one will be ok Amen.

  26. This amazing novena of St. Therese has blessed me in more ways than I can
    count. My heart and soul feel lighter for praying it and my spiritual being soars with love and peace.
    I can honestly say that I feel my Intentions was answered. I asked for St. Theresa to find an assisted living place for my father-in-law to go and live. He will be leaving on Tuesday. Though my heart is heavy by seeing him go, it is the best for him. He needs much assistance then just feeding him. I’m so blessed my Intention was answered. Thank you Lord & thank St. Therese for hearing my prayer.
    Thank you John-Paul and Annie for sharing these Novenas. May God bless you over & over again.

  27. I’ve been having a health challenge the last few weeks, and prayed to St Therese for healing or how to suffer well. Today I was given the all clear to resume normal activities. Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, St Therese, help us to love Jesus more and more.

  28. My teaching friend had send me a text requesting ‘prayer warrior’ type of prayers for her great nephew, a newborn, that was suffering from a severe respiratory virus since birth. I decided to start this Novena for him. Baby Zion had many complications and was put in the NICU, given strong medications, and also feeding tubes to gain his strength and help his lung capacity. Throughout this Novena there have been times that he was declining, but once again us ‘prayer warriors’ continued to pray for healing and strength for him. Yesterday, the day before the feast of St. Therese of Lisieux, I received a text that his chest xray was looking so much better, there was less fluid in his lungs and also that he is more alert and acting ‘more normal’ for a newborn. Another blessing was that he was moved into a new room with a bathroom and a shower, so that his mom can stay there with him now. His family is extremely grateful for any prayers that have gone his way…and I am grateful, once again, that St. Therese has heard my prayers through this Novena, has brought them to our Lord, and she has also sent me a rose on a lil bag that someone gave me when returning an empty jar…on the first day I started the Novena…and another rose today, on the final day of the Novena!
    Thank you for sharing these prayers and Novenas with all of us.

  29. Our Loving Lord has guided us to a new way of thinking about our son who struggles with depression and anxiety and we are deeply grateful for all the faith filled healing our family is receiving thru this Novena . Yours in faith, JT

  30. God delivered me from spirit of death this morning. I have been looking for shop but God provided me with people who help me with parking store for now, I strongly believe God through this novena he will provide a shop for me.

  34. I once prayed to St Therese for a grandchild. I also prayed to the Blessed Mother that if my prayers were heard in heaven, to please give me a sign, and if I can have a rosary so I will know its from Her. That same day, I got a mail from St Therese of the Little Flower Society and inside was a red rosary. So grateful and thankful. Thank you St Therese and our Blessed Mother.

  35. My oldest son was away from the church for a year. My second son and I were saying the novena to St. Theresa for my oldest son. My oldest son got sick and came back to the church. He past away last week. We immediately had the Gregorian masses said for his intention. Then today, Oct. 1, we went to first Friday Mass, as I reached into my pocket to say the rosary, I pulled out a St. Theresa rosary. It was colder, so I put on one of my heavier jackets and to my surprise there was St. Theresa. God has been so good to me and I thank him everyday. I especially want to thank dear little St. Theresa for bringing my son home.

  36. I’ve been praying(this group)for a long time now .During the 8th day novena of St. Therese of Lisieux answered some of my prayes.I am not devoted to her but she still gives what my hearts desire. A remarkable one! Thank you St. Therese and happy feast day! 💖💐

  38. I am sure my prayers were heard. I was in a strange town going to eat and parked in the only spot available. When I got out of my car, a Seven Sisters Rose bush attacked me. It was as if it wanted to make sure I noticed it. BTW my mom and 2 departed sisters loved this particular rose. So I know someone heard my prayers.

Thank you St Therese—I prayed to Jesus through your intercession, and my prayers were answered 😊❤️

  41. My grandson has OCD since the Pandemic. His Dad was not very compassionate towards him. His Mom has him into therapy.

Thank you Lord that I am alive, for the strength you give me in darkness moments and the many many blessings that sometimes I dont see. I love you and thank you for the gift of life and my parents.

  61. On August 11, 2021, our daughter Angelina went into medical distress after suffering an intracranial hemorrhage related to a previously undiagnosed arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Angelina was transported to McMaster Children’s Hospital where she underwent emergency surgery to save her life and reduce the swelling in her brain. Angelina remained in the Pediatric ICU at McMaster for several weeks where she received exceptionally compassionate care from the PICU staff. Angelina quickly began to regain her strength and on August 31 she was transferred to a Rehabilitation Hospital in Toronto for continued treatment pending additional procedures that she will require at McMaster. Angelina is showing us just how strong and determined she actually is and is continuing to make remarkable progress with her recovery. Angelina’s acquired brain injury has impacted the right side of her body and has also resulted in some cognitive impairment. Angelina has limited use and feeling in her right hand but We are hopeful that with her continued prayers, therapies and determination ,Angelina will be able to make a full recovery from this life changing event. This morning (October 01,2021) Angelina woke up and told us that she can feel her right hand more and the muscle spasms are not as rigid. Throughout this novena we have been praying for Angelina’s hand, body, mind and soul to continue to recover. We have received so many blessings and signs throughout this journey and we believe that Angelina’s hand feeling better is another blessing we have received. Thank you God, Jesus, All the Saints and Angels and St. Therese for our blessings and continue to help Angelina to recover. Amen

  62. My husband’s heart reading was high and had to see a specialist who found everything to be fine on Monday. Thank you dear St Therese for healing !

  63. As a new widow of only a few months, I asked the Holy Spirit to draw me into a closer relationship with him, and to show me the Lord’s will for me right now.
    It has been really impressed on my heart, what the Lord wants for me to do right now, is the “work”of grieving and mourning for my husband. And he will show me to move forward into other areas as time goes on. So I am also being more open to the holy spirit’s leading and guidance. Thank you God!

  64. My daughter had several interviews lined up within the Novena days. I prayed she be successfully in all . My prayer was granted to the glory of God. St Theresa pray for us 🙏🏾

  65. Prayers for our friend Tom who has had a liver transplant. There was complications at first but he is doing much better now. Thank you St. Therese for answering our prayers and keeping Tom’s wife safe and able to travel to be with him.

  66. My sister in law Rose took a miraculous turn for the better as she is in the hospital with Covid pneumonia. She may be going home as early as next week! Prayer answered, thank you St. Therese.

  67. Thank you St.Therese of Lisieux for bringing my daughter back to California and safe; bringing us joy with the new addition to our lives (a baby on the way); bringing fruition to my husband business; and helping my son.

  68. I received God’s blessings and a miracle from St. Therese. I prayed for a commercial boring contractor to bore under the state highway and creek with 2-300′ lines to bring me water and sewage to my home. I had several contact me that they can do the job but I am still praying that one of them gets the job done. I received an email with roses in our church bulletin for Remembrance of All Soul’s Day to honor our loved ones. I trust in Him. I am still praying for my home, as a first time homebuyer, for spells/demons to leave my home where I keep having numerous big catastrophic damage one event after another.

  69. Something I didn’t pray for in this Novena but received and was an answer to pray concerned hoping for additional persons to participate in an extended prayer experience. As I was interviewing a person and was sharing where I grew up and went to high school, she said, “I went there, too.” It was Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls in Philadelphia. When she said that, I knew it was a “rose” from the Little Flower, an answer to a prayer in my heart. Thank you.

  73. Hi- I got a much needed answered prayer. I was able to get some work done on the engine of my Subaru for a fraction of the cost I was told originally and my engine now purrs! I had been basically told my car was a goner by two dealers. I’m a single woman and had been so stressed.
