Thank you ever so much for your prayers for my son. God granted the request for the job we asked for! Praise and thanks be to God! We appreciate your intercession, St. Thérèse. Thank you for being such a wonderful, heavenly friend. Thank you for all you do for us, and for always being with us. Amen.
St. Therese showed me another rose and another answered prayer. I will keep praying, even if my prayers have been answered. Thank you, St. Therese, for your intercession. Thank you, God, for everything. Amen.
Prayers for my brother in lay dying from cancer.

As a three year old child I experienced a traumatic event. I am now 53. For fifty years I have lived in fear worry and anxiety. Yesterday 10-2-2023, I had a momentous breakthrough, after praying this novena. I thought I had forgiven he who had done that to me as a child, little did I know that I was angry with Jesus himself. So yesterday on her feast and on Sunday, I forgave Jesus at Mass and tears overflowed. I haven’t felt peace like this for a long long time. Thank you little flower! I love you! I love you Jesus!
Today on the 5th day of my novena I suddenly smelled the strong sent of roses. Since I had lost my taste and smell some time ago, it was a good surprise for me. I know now, that my prayers are going to be answered. I was named after St Therese and pray to her often.
I prayed this novena because I was having cold feet before my wedding and was seriously considering breaking off my engagement. My fiancé and I prayed a novena to the Holy Spirit and I prayed this privately as well. I asked for a white rose if we were meant to break up and a red rose if we should get married. Over the course of our novena to the Holy Spirit we resolved our concerns and today I finished this novena. I hadn’t seen my rose and was getting ready for bed. My roommate got a package that had been delayed and wanted to show me a new outfit she’d ordered. The pants were covered in red roses haha 😂
I prayed to St. Theresa for my girlfriend & I to get back together & work things out. I started the 9 day Novena to St. Theresa. I asked St. Theresa to send me a yellow rose if we were to get back together. After the 2nd day praying the novena, walking thru my neighborhood I walk passed a bushel of yellow roses….I was so shocked. I hope this mean we are on the mend to working things out. I will finish the novena but St. Theresa is definitely listening to my prayers…
I’ve always prayed the St. Therese novena on and off during my life for as long as I can remember. I am not sure that I have ever received a clear answered prayer or sign on this novena, but I have definitely received signs outside of the novena- from St. Therese. From gifts of the saint, to the smell of roses, dreams of images of St. Therese, and so much more, I know she is praying for me. Most specifically, on this current novena, I felt that a very special intention that I have been paying for for 7 years now, was answered. But things have taken a turn, and my hope is too. For those who have received their answered prayer or miracle, please keep me in your prayers. I need a miracle in my life! May God Bless you all.
I prayed the novene before when I needed to make a decision between 2 rental houses. I chose a yellow rose and it was not just one but a full bush of yellow roses that greeted me on my way to one of those houses. I immediately chose that house but when the opportunity came for another house the same thing happened, this time I got exactly what I prayed for. The neighborhood , the neighbors even the distance from my mom that I asked for. I got it all thanx to the novene. Leigh-Ann
I love Saint Theresa♡
I received my novena answer on oct. 1st with roses with Saint Theresa photo.
On October 4th. It was my Birthday.
My family gave me a buncb of gifts of Saint Theresa in a Saint Theresa bag holding flowers. My family did not know I was praying the novena.
I have said Saint Theresa Novena for 44 years. I have always had my prayers answered. I have always have received a rose from the heavenly garden in many different places. Very unusual places.
SAINT THERESA SENDS BEAUTY FROM HEAVEN.
Truly, I encourage everyone to always finish ANY novena even, if they’re “late”. I was feeling discouraged and days went by before I could St.Therese Novena. Well I finished today and I firmly believe she going to answer my prayers. Something amazing that happened was that I received two 🌹 rose plants, and my rose tree came back to life. I received my little flower♥️
Although the Novena to St Therese ended on the 10th of October, after 3 years praying for a job in my field, in October 4th the feast of St Francis of Assisi the miracle came through. Thank you Jesus and to the intersession of St. Therese for this miracle.
I prayed for the results of my brother-in- law’s biopsy on his prostate to be negative and the results were favourable. He may still have to do a surgery in the future but for now it is good news
Prayers snswered’
Having completed the St.Therese novena along with you, my rose arrived last night:)
I started this novena at a time when I was feeling so low, my baby was very sick and I was also in need for a break through in my career. By day 3 of this novena my baby health was restored. I had high spirits throughout this novena and on 5th October I got a job offer that I’m really excited about!
I’m sure Our Heavenly Father answered my prayer, and I’ll find out when He’s ready. But I didn’t realize it until this morning. I’m an Assistant Catechist for one of the 8th grade classes in my parish. Yesterday evening, the students and teachers went into the church to pray the rosary. It was beautiful hearing the children praying. Roses were presented to Holy Mary during the praying of the rosary by some of the older students. Also, one rose was given to each Catechist at the end of class. But, I had other obligations after class: adoration and food pantry. So, I didn’t get home until after 10 PM. I put the single rose into a vase once I got home and didn’t give it another thought. This morning while gazing at the beauty of the rose, it dawned on me. I got my rose! My prayers have been answered! Our God is an awesome God!
Good Morning,
This novena has worked miracles for me. Have straining financially to even sustain myself and my baby. One of my prayer petitions was for a financial breakthrough. And trust ever since i began this novena have not struggled in any way. PRAISE JESUS. Thank you st. Therese for interceding on my behalf.
My worries about my 3 granddaughters have been overwhelming during the last year. I have a close relationship with all 3 of them, they call and ask for my opinions and guidance several times a week. I live 2 hours from them and go take them to Dr appointments, Dentist, ect. and help them financially as much as possible.
They haven’t had any parental guidance for the last year. Their Parents are divorced and remarried and both divorcing again so the 2 youngest girls have been living with different friends. The oldest is struggling living on her own. Their ages are 16,18,21. I don’t get along with their father, and their Mom (my daughter doesn’t speak to me). I prayed that their parents would please see that these 3 beautiful girls need their Mom and Dad. Their Dad asked the two youngest to move in with him last week!!
I feel my prayers were answered. They at least have the support of one parent, and I am thankful for that, and the two youngest have each other
again. I am so Thankful, Amen…
I had forgotten about the roses until just now. Twice after the novena there was a lovely fragrance of roses around me. What a comfort!!Thank St Therese Mother Mary
I thank St Therese of Liseaux for interceding for us.I prayed for my sister who had gotten paralyzed on one side of the body and could not sit nor hold anything healing and after few days when I called, she was able to sit up and hold her cup and drink and eat alone.So I give Glory to God Amen
I prayed this novena last year for a Godly, virtuous man and St T fulfilled her promise this year. This novena was in Thanksgiving for that.
I was caught in a snowstorm and the only thing I said was- Lord I wish for someone I could just call and talk to, I immediately smelled rose petals and a text came through from my now boyfriend.
We celebrate 8 months this month.
I highly recommend this novena because St T not only sees that prayers get answered but she ensures there’s a blessing behind every one of those prayers.
Thank you St. Therese for answering my prayer to close on a complicated Real Estate deal and not lose my earnest money. Thank you for miraculously making my lender to offer to loan me more money to complete a project to satisfaction. I had prayed the novena specifically for these 2 major favors and you granted them both! I’ll eternally by grateful and worship and adore my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through you!
Thank you St. Therese for answers to my health issues during this novena. On the first day of the novena, I looked out my kitchen window and saw it rose in full bloom on a bush that hadn’t had a rose on it in months ! I was able to get needed testing done in another city and it looks like the answers will be helpful to my surgeon. I’m hoping to finally get better after nine months of fatigue and other symptoms. Thank you to St. Theresa and the Blessed Mother for their help! Please continue to help me through this process!
Waking up to a smell of perfume in my bedroom,on top of the many answers I received during this Novrma was like an amazing encounter.St Therese, my mom’s namesake, you are for real 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for this chance of praying with you, to John-Paul & Annie that you cared so much to us believers. Throughout this novena with St. Therese I found some spiritual guidance that cleared my mind on what to do with my life, family & marriage. I know in my heart she has given me wisdom & motivation to keep moving forward. It seems a clear mind & peaceful heart St. Therese & our Lord’s provisions enlighted me that I really needed in my struggles this time. 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️
I am a 78 year old retired and disabled R. C. priest and I live in my own home with my Canine Companion, Charlie. I get food stamps, meals on wheels, and groceries from the food bank. However my income is below the poverty level. I joke that I am food rich and cash poor.
I recently needed financial help because PayPal repeatedly requested payments from my checking account for the same charge when I was overdrawn. This resulted in my paying over $700.00 in overdraft fees for each of the last 3 or 4 months, leaving me less than couple hundred dollars to pay bills. A staff member at my credit union finally told me what was happening and what I could do to to solve the problem.
I followed her advice, but was two payments behind on my house insurance. While praying the Novena to the Little Flower I asked for sufficient cash to be able to make the payment. On Friday evening, while calling St. Vincent de Paul Societies and other Charitable agencies, I accidentally dialed a dear friend and blurted out my request, no realizing that I had called her. She is a member of a Greek Orthodox parish. My grandmother was Ukrainian uniate, so I am familiar with the Liturgy which both churches share. This was how we became friends. She promised that she would send me a check to cover half the bill. The local parish offered the money to pay the other half.
On Sunday afternoon I received a call from my friend to tell me that she had mentioned my need to a friend from her parish. The woman is a widow who is a millionaire, told her stop by her house to pick up a check for $500.00. when she arrived her friend had written a check for ,$1,000.00. That is enough to straighten out my finances as well as to pay the house insurance.
THANKS BE TO GOD, HIS LOVE IS EVERLASTING! ROSES, ROSES, ROSES!

I pray for my grand – daughter to have a safe delivery
thank God, she had her twins safely on Sunday 2nd . They are all doing well. Thank you St Therese.
The retreat was powerful. Thank you, St. Therese for interceding for us.
I was praying for my friend whom I cherish to be successful in an interview, and the I thank God that she has been selected for the post, Glory be to God and I thank every one of us who prayed this novena
Prayed for healing between daughter and her father ( and more..) today her father is visiting her and yesterday she talked respectfully to him on the phone. I claim the healing has begun!
I prayed to St Therese to send me a rose as a sign that I would sell my car. 2 days later a lady reached out to me. She test drove the car and said she wanted to buy it.
I sold the car the same day.
Her name was Rose
Thank you St Therese for granting my intentions on the eve of your Feast Day.
One of my son’ s approach to conversations has improved tremendously but it could be more better. Thanks to God for answered prayers.
I’m so grateful that through this novena my friend is pregnant now.We’ve been praying for this to happen. Another friend got cured from cancer too.Praise God for answering our prayers.Thank you everyone for your prayers.
As the Novena to St Therese started I found a conflict among my close friends. A death occurred and I prayed that this would inspire everyone to forgive, forget and come together. It didn’t happen. On the second day of the novena was the day of the viewing. One party was absent. That night I fervently prayed to Our Lady and to The Little flower. I asked the Little flower to send us a rose. When I went into the church for the funeral mass that party was absent. My heart sank but I continued to pray. At the end of the mass I saw the whole family on the last few. They had been delayed on the way. Thank you Mother Mary and Saint Therese. We need your help for real and lasting peace that is still missing among those involved. But I thank God, Mother Mary and St Therese for what has happened. It was a start. I believe lasting peace will come in God’s time. Praise the Lord🙏🙏🙏
Thanks be to God for a great grace during this novena regarding my marriage. I’m grateful to St Therese for praying for me and for our family. She is helping me to learn how to entrust all things to God. He will take care of everything, if we only let go and let Him. Thank you everyone for your prayers.
During this novena I prayed for my daughter’s acceptance to a medical school. As of today she has received invitations from 4 medical schools. Praise be the Lord.
Mine is not “a prayer that was answered”; however I would like to know ‘how would I know that my prayer has been answered’? Would you please give me some hints in that regard?
I have prayed the last three Novenas and prayers have been answered. Unfortunately I had to pray for expediting my son’s divorce. They have been fighting for 15 months and making life miserable for my grandchildren. I prayed for the fighting to stop, and the process to be completed. I heard today it is coming to an end and a light is at the end of the tunnel. I was worried God would not want to help in a divorce situation but he did and I will thank him continuously for making this finally happen. Thank you my Lord, Jesus I trust in You.
Praise God! I am pregnant. Thank you my online family for your prayers. We ask God to protect this pregnancy and keep the baby away from harm in my belly and after delivery.

I prayed that my friend who has been diagnosed with blood cancer would find a doctor who would be able to treat her condition. She has found a doctor and is being treated with a chemo medication.
I have been praying all the novenas for the last year, with increased intensity the last 6 months especially for the health of my mother. My mother has endometrial cancer, and was undergoing radiation for a recurrence in April and May this year. These novenas were a source of comfort, strength, and solace for me – handing over all my intentions to Jesus and begging for the saints’ intercession on our behalf.
I prayed especially the St. Therese novena over the last 1.5 weeks for good results from my mother’s MRI – and we just heard that her lesions are shrinking!
Thank you so much for sharing these novenas, for praying for us, and thank you to the entire prayer group for your prayers as well! I continue to keep all of us in my prayers, may God hold us all in his heart and comfort us in our times of need. Amen!
I prayed for our marriage to heal and for my husband to be more thoughtful and generous. Well, he just took me on vacation with his own personal money, not our jointly held finances! Praise God and thank You!
I prayed that our town would be spared from a hurricane. (We are still recovering from a cat 5 in 2018). The course of the storm changed and we had minimal problems. I am now praying for those affected as we know what’s ahead for them.
I asked for the intercession of St. Therese to pray for me to get the job i have longed for and it was granted. Thank you Lord!!!
I have just undergone a very successful operation which gave me a new hip
I prayed this novena for healing from a particular health issue, as well as general healing so that I could have another baby someday. I prayed for a sign of roses to let me know that my prayers would be answered someday. Unexpectedly, today at confession, a first class relic of St. Thérèse was available for veneration, and next to it was a rose. The same exact, unique color of the roses we purchased in honor of St. Thérèse yesterday! I’d been praying for many years for an opportunity to venerate a relic of St. Thérèse. Thank you, Jesus, for these signs to let me know you hear my requests!
Dear Friends of St. Therese,
I have experienced God’s mercy through the intercession of our beloved St. Therese of Lisieux. Some of my prayers have been answered during this novena. Praise God! Bless St. Therese!
On the 7th day i received an email of confirmation that I should report for classes.I was peaying to be enrolled even though the fees deposit that I made was way below what they requires.
Thank yo St Teresa for interceeding for me.I am believing for my other intentions.
Thank you Lord for answering my prayer!!.
St Theresa gave me the strength this morning to get through a very hard situation. She put words in my mouth and lead me to face this situation when I really just wanted to run far far away.
I grateful for pray more novena and for all your hard work in helping others learn more about all the Saints! I love each novena and each time I do one I grow deeper in my
Faith and letting go and knowing I’m not in charge! God is!!! What a relief! How freeing time like this finally!!
God Bless you both and your beautiful ministry!!!
I very unexpectedly received a rose after Mass today. I did not know of the Lay Carmelites but they were there passing out roses after Mass. Also I was not aware of the common occurrence of a rose coming to those that pray a novena to St Theres of Lisieux France .
I thank God and the intercession of st. Theresa very much for some of my petitions have been answered on the second day of praying.
1. The conflict between my friends.
2. I paid rent for 3 months
3. I have customers now buying from my shop.

I bless God and everyone who prayed for me
As St. Therese wrote :”All I did was to
break my self-will, check a hasty reply, and
do little kindnesses without making a fuss
about them—and lots of similar things”
– during the Novena, as I prayed for a return to the Church & a deeper trust and reliance on God for my children, I found myself succeed in saying NO to my ‘self’ more often, and checking hasty replies ( which I am prone to) doing little kind acts without telling anyone, and not allowing myself to feel offended at hurtful comments!
Thank you, Blessed St. Therese! Keep interceding for my children and loved ones!
I had a stroke in April and I’ve been struggling with Extreme fatigue. My prayer was to feel “normal” again so I can work and take care of my kids. On day nine of the novena I miraculously had my normal energy level. Thank you Jesus.
I prayed that St Therese wiuld intercede so my husband could quiet his mind that was going wild for a few days. Since yesterday he is much better.
Thank you Lord
I could not believe what happened yesterday. I have been trying to do this novena even though we were on a pilgrimage in Germany and Austria from 9/20 till 9/30. I was praying for physical healing for my wife and spiritual healing for my daughters. Anyow, my wife and I got separated in the Frankfurt Airport. I got to the terminal first and was walking around trying to find place to wait for my wife. I had been in several spots and then was led to wait by the escalator for Mary. I walked over to a spot at the top of the escalator and there was a small ledge at the top of the handrail and sitting on the top of the ledge was a rose. I am not sure what it means with respect to my petitions, but I was blown away. I shared this with some of the other pilgrims and I am sure that something is about to happen. Praise God!! Thank you, St. Theresa,
I offered this Novena for my family living In Florida. I heard from them, and they made it through hurricane Ian unharmed. Thank you St. Therese.
My daughter got an appointment with a speech specialist for A.. Thank you Jesus.
Thank you dear Lord cause through the intersection of St. Teresa you have blessed mu grandson .Glory to God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit.
On day 3 of Novena I became angry and frustrated by 2 people who had not followed guidelines for something and therefore meant more work for me. Every time I thought about it I became agitated. On day 5 I read the following: “Loving God, You gave St. Therese the gift of forgiving others even when she felt hurt and betrayed. Help me to be able to forgive others who have wounded me, especially…“
So I prayed for them, and the agitation and frustration are gone. Praise God and thank you Saint Therese.
On 29 Sept i did my road test and i passed and now i have a driving license….thank you Jesus
While full healing has not occurred I gained much benefit from listening to the video with Jake Kyhm on St. Therese’s weaknesses. Mine have been a great struggle even with much prayer. My thoughts about them caused me to feel less than. Now I can not only see them as God’s grace by inviting me to draw closer to Him but I thank God for them. I frequently prayed ‘Jesus I trust in You,’ but still felt a distance from others who I considered ‘normal.’ Although there’s more work to do, now there’s also a freeing new perspective to replace the negative, self degrading thoughts that enslaved me.
Thank you for including that video from a previous Retreat. The last Pray More Novena Retreat was also very beneficial. I have forwarded it along with Jake Khym’s video to others. And thank you for your prayers and this email ministry! 🙏🏻💞
Through the intersection of Saint Theresa lisieux I got my prayers answered, my daughter finally reached out to her father, thank you Saint Theresa for your prayers
Thank you with all my heart
Thank you Lord🙏
AMEN!!!!
I prayed for payments for goods I had sold. I received the amounts in full on the 7th and 9th days of this Novena. Thank you Saint Therese for interceding for me. God bless you all for these Novenas. Amen
Hi All.
St Therese is my favourite saint. I love what she believed in, in doing the ordinary things with extra ordinary love.
I have been asking her intercession for my neighbour’s daughter who is bout 4 months pregnant and in hospital. She may have to have her baby aborted as her life maybe in danger. So far, she is improving. I continue to ask St Therese’s intercession so that her health may continue to improve and she can deliver her baby. Thank you St Therese!
