  1. I prayed for my husband’s conversion to Catholicism. Though he hasn’t converted, I asked if he would pray about it and he said yes!

  2. Yes my prayer was answered today. I have a daughter estranged from our family, for 10 years. My prayer was to have some sort of contact with her, whether it be me, my husband my other daughter etc. Today my oldest daughter went shopping, she saw her sister when she came out of a dressing room, at a distance. She actually saw the estranged daughters husband first, but didn’t recognize him, but his height caught her attention. They have 2 children. None of us have seen the youngest child. No one spoke, everything was at a distance, but she and her family were seen. Thank you St. Therese. My heart is happy with this sighting.

  3. Thank you for the continued improved health of my mom. Thank you St Therese for hearing my prayers for my mom, grandsons and daughter. I am grateful for your prayers.

  4. Dear Saint Therese,
    Thank you for your prayers and intercessions. Please watch over, protect and pray for my son.
    Please pray for my sisters, family.
    Please pray for all in my healing prayer, Annie and John-Paul, and all praying this novena and their intentions.
    Thank you dear Saint who inspire prayer with each rose.

  5. I’ve been praying novenas asking for God to bless us with another child as we have been trying again for over 2 years. I had given up on continuously trying and hoping. But on the 6th day of this novena, we found out that we are pregnant. Please continue to join us in prayers through our pregnancy journey. God bless everyone in the pray more novena community.

  6. My daughter died 30 years ago from an inherited terminal illness and when pregnant again I prayed to St Therese the name of my local church and Our Lady. We were blessed with a healthy daughter who has recently qualified as a Doctor. I named our daughter Rachel Marie-Therese in thanksgiving.
    The novena has been a lovely way to say thank you to God for his unwaivering love in my life.
    God bless to you all.

    Yesterday, a week after my daughter took the girls, the judge ordered her to bring them back home.

    Thank you for the novenas!

  31. My prayer was asking her to undo the knots which continue to bind me, especially in the areas of writing.
    I’m a writer who has been really struggling and God has given me grace of strength and clarity in regards to my novel. I even joined a class with a book coach! I would never have done that before/
    I’ve also come to understand my many heath issues are stemming from toxic mold syndrome. AND. The Holy Spirit reminded me I already knew a really good naturopath who could help me. I had truly forgotten about this person as it has been about 20 years since I’ve seen them.
    I know these will be lots of hard work. It’s ok. With God I can do all the things <3

  33. Thank God for His Grace upon the lives of my family, for safe journey to UK, For my daughter safe delivery and for greater opportunities that are here with us and the once yet to come. To God be all the glory. AMEN

  34. During this past week , I was praying the novena and the most blessed , beautiful, honored event occurred to me when I was at the checkout line at the grocery store ….I turned slightly around bc I felt a presence and the woman who works there offers for free a bouquet of roses ….and another bouquet of flowers w a single red rose .
    I said “free” …I was walking out and the thought came swiftly …this s really happening I was blessed and heard . It can not get any more validating than this situation.
    This is so sweet, words that I can’t fully describe the feeling of knowing that I am being heard by the most beautiful Saint ….it was unbelievable and so real at the same time .

  35. My son regained possession of his own home, and ended an illicit relationship he had for 8 years with a divorced woman (20 years his senior). St. Thérèse, thank you for your continue intercession on all our behalf! We praise Our Heavenly Father for answered prayers, and trust Him for His daily love and care for us. Amen!

  36. My son who was sober for 3 years from meth fell back into usage, yesterday he was praising God for the grace of sobriety!! I pray this time will be forever! Thank you St Therese and Jesus and Holy Mama Mary

  37. I am grateful and thankful for all the support and prayers offered to me and my family. My son has passed his exams and moved to the next stage of his university studies. I am still praying for my daughter to have the opportunity to resit her failed exams and not be kicked out of university. IJN 🙏🏽

  38. After 4 months of running out of funds to continue working for the company that hire me and another 100 families, intercession prayers were answered and the company will now employ me back and pay salaries in arrears. Thank you St Therese for your intercession to our Lord. This is the second times you come through, Exactly a year ago I had been under employed for 3 years and was able to find this woderful job to give glory to God.

  39. Having been out of work for 2.5 mths I feared eviction because I didn’t have the money to pay my rent. I ask my church and they not only paid my rent but my car payment too. My experience with Novenas are on the 7th day my prayer is answered. My faith is growing, my love for our Lord continues to grow and I’m so thankful for these Novenas. Praise God in all things.

  40. My son has for some considerable period now been engaged in a job which I see as fulfilling. My daughter is enjoying good heath and my financial circumstances haven’t been that stressful. May the Almighty be praised.

  41. Reggie received his heart and the transplant was completed yesterday.
    God I’d so very good and thank everyone for all of their prayers

  42. I prayed that my daughter would lessen her dependency on drugs for sleeping, which she used in excess. She has stopped using them and now actually sleeps and feels better. Thank you Lord!!!

  43. My son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter are vacationing in Portugal this week. I prayed they would stop in Fatima and prayed for a safe trip, and especially for physical, mental , spiritual and emotional healing for my daughter-in-law . They face timed me today FROM FATIMA !!!! They were very touched by the entire experience! They are not Catholic ( although my son was raised Catholic ) . They were truly overwhelmed by being there . What a blessing !!! Thank you St Therese !

  44. I pray daily for the safety of my family. My son called and told me he was in a very dangerous slide with his car and miraculously no other cars weee around (a usually traffic laden highway) and eventually the car to came to a stop avoiding a guardrail and a ditch that would have flipped the car.

    A friends son passes a critical exam he had failed in the past

  45. I passed an extremely hard test that I have failed twice. We had to pass this test to keep our jobs due to the building collapsed in Davenport. Praise the Lord!!!!

  46. When I went into this Novena, I had just finished the Novena to St. Jude where I had received miracles more than I could ever imagine. For Blessed St. Therese, I had two main prayer requests:

    1. To get the finances to pay for
    A. My Daddy’s medicines,
    B. My Daddy’s upkeep,
    C. My Mummy’s upkeep,
    D. My own upkeep as I had not paid for my rent and other expenses
    2. To bless my workplace as financially I was not doing well and there were certain obstacles preventing my practice from progressing.

    I can tell you even now, I don’t even have the words on how some of the miracles I’m experiencing today have occurred. Having prayed that I can at least get money to buy medicines for my Dad for one month, I’ve been able to get two months worth of medicines for my Dad, I had two weeks worth of upkeep for him but I’ve been informed that due to some circumstances, that two weeks worth should be enough for him for the whole month, and that finances have been made available as well for my Mum’s upkeep for a while. I also was able to get some work, whose payment will help me cover rent and some expenses for the next two months. Though I still continue to pray that certain worldly obstacles are removed for my practice to grow and impact lives, these answered prayers have given me hope, and have strengthened my faith, love, and trust in God that He is truly merciful and by my side. I am truly grateful and full of love for St. Therese and St. Jude and all the other saints for whom I have prayed the Novena and their intercessions have worked for me.

  47. Dear John-Paul ans Annie,

    Thank you for sending this novena to Saint Theresa to all of us. I have had some serious health issues and during this novena I received many answers that have lessened the worry I had for myself as well for my husband.

    Thank you Saint Theresa, help me to do your little ways each day for God and for His people-Amen! ❤️🌹❤️
    All my love,
    Angela (Aka) Angelica

  50. I looked this morning at my rose bush and there were 5 beautiful yellow roses!! I know my prayers have been heard and will be answered according to His will. I trust in the Lord with all my heart. I believe my prayers are being answered but it will be in a timely manner so I will be patient with the Lord. Thank you for sending me the roses St. Therese.

  53. I had prolonged periods; while praying the Novena of St. Theresa of Lisieux, my periods stopped. Thanking and Praising God and Thanking St. Theresa for answering my prayers.

  54. I prayed for my granddaughter. She had a mole removed. The pathology showed irregular cells. She had a second procedure removing more tissue. Praise God and St. Theresa’s intercession! This second pathology was clear. Thank you!

  55. Praise the Lord! I have been blessed. Doing what Jesus would do was not easy but thru this novena the blessings, graces the freedom I have trusting Our Beloved Jesus in everything is life, heart and soul changing. Im doing my best.
    My fallen nature gets in the way but I reflect on the teachings of this novena and know I not alone!!! Thank you for everyones prayers and Praise Honor and Glory to Our Loving Savior!!!

  56. Thank you Saint Therese, thank you thank you, thank you! I got a phone call from my daughter we had a visit that was so very nice, please help us continue to speak honestly and clearly to one another, and please Saint Terese, guide my granddaughter to call me today. Pray with me, dear Saint Therese, that we can rekindle our relationships in my family and forgive. Thank you, Saint Thérèse please continue to hold us and guide us! Amen

  57. My mother, Florence, 95, was blessed by a successful heart valve replacement procedure. She has a lifelong devotion to St. Theresa and St. Theresa’s intercession provided. She continues to recover positively, and we are so grateful!

  58. On the day that the Novena began my wife was in the hospital with severe pneumonia and also suffering from septic shock. My prayer intention in the Novena (as well as my daily Rosary) was for her to recover and regain her health. This has happened, she has been discharged and sent to a rehabilitation facility for short-term physical therapy to help with her strength and mobility. Deo Gratia, and thank you for the opportunity to pray this Novena.

  59. Over the course of my lifetime, I have had the honor of witnessing St. Therese’s intercession numerous times. I have seen healing and blessings in abundance, and so many roses. Not every prayer was answered in the way that it was prayed, but eventually we came to understand it was answered in the way that would bring us peace. God heals and works in situations in ways we never can. As I scroll through the testimonies of answered prayer during this time, I am reminded of the love and mercy that He pours out on us. Most especially, I am reminded that He never fails us. My prayers have not been answered, yet, but I know that God is working and I know that He and Saint Therese and all the angels and saints are in this with us together. My prayer today is that anyone who has not seen their prayers answered go outside and look into that big ‘Ol sky above us and know that God is absolutely working for you, for me, for all of us. Y’all have a beautiful day! Keep praying. ☀️🌈❤️

  60. I am deeply grateful for the intercession of St. Therese and St. Lucy for improved eyesight after a retinal tear and hemorrhage. Within a week of the incident, a tear due to myopic vision, I had amazing improvement in terms of the debris clearing. Thank God for healing, and to the saints who pray for us! I’ve also been praying novena after novena for the return of two of my kids to church. 8 years so far. My son just had his first child, and asked about baptism for the baby, at our church. I am amazed and deeply grateful for this hoped- for return. I’ve learned to trust more during this waiting time. God has His own plan and timeline. Sometimes answers come quickly, as with my eye, and sometimes there needs to be a waiting period. God is so good.

  61. Prayer request for better communication between my partner and I. To resolve conflict in a more calm and positive manner. To show more love through our actions.

  62. Saint Therese’s feast day and my birthday are the same day. She has always answered my prayers and I can’t remember a birthday that wasn’t warm and gloriously sunny with bright blue skies and colors of fall leaves. This novena I’ve asked for help with the planning and obtaining resources needed for a special rosary and procession event. The help and resources have already begun to come my way. Thank you St. Therese, Little Flower of Jesus! Happy Feast Day! All Glory & Praise to You, Lord Jesus!

  63. I’ve been praying novenas for a few years now. Some prayers are answered and some not, for it be God’s will. For 18 months I’ve been praying for a woman who was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, and she is now cancer free. I will continue to pray for her through these Novenas and other prayers that it may never return.
    I have never prayed for myself. This past novena to Saint Theresa I threw myself in there, for I was told I had a skin cancer on my face and feared it might be melanoma returning. I learned in the midst of this novena that it’s not any type of cancer! My doctor was convinced it was before the biopsy, so I believe our collective prayer and putting myself in my petitions resulted in the positive outcome! I am so grateful for the Grace bestowed upon us. Thank you and God Bless everyone!

  64. I greet all of you in the name of the almighty God Jesus Christ and St Therese. Thank you for praying with me. After a year of no job and never been called for any interviews, i am proud to announce that I will be having an interview next month. Please continue to pray for and with me. Thanks St Therese i love you

  65. My husband has been in hospital since Sep 8, cellulitis in foot. 4 surgeries later he kept his foot and is finally on the mend, We still have a long way to go, but healing is happening, Thank you so much St Therese. He is still in hospital and may be going to rehab but healing. We now pray for positive life changes so we are never in this place again. Thank you for all the prayers and I love the novenas as they give me strength.

  66. I have found tremendous peace in allowing Jesus into every situation.
    To listen deeply and hear His voice speaking to my heart. I Love Saint Therese and pray for her powerful intercession daily.
    Thank you for praying for me, as I pray for all of us here in this Novena

  67. During this Novena we kept roof over our heads🙌🏼
    We all remained safe🙌🏼
    We remained encouraged 🙌🏼

  68. I asked St Therese for pink roses if i’m supposed to date this particular boy and if he is my future spouse- I just wanted clarity and to know if I’m doing God’s will in this friendship and with everything at this point in my life… and i’ve seen an overwhelming amount of pink roses every day since day 5 of this novena!! I’m actually shocked and in utter disbelief but i’m so grateful and so at peace!!

  69. I had sadness that my grandson was sick and I could not go and take care of him. His dad did a great job. His mommy was out of town for work. I pray for my healing that I can start helping more.

  70. My daughter delivered a healthy baby girl, albeit one month prematurely. Mother, daughter, and father are doing well and the entire extended family and friends are grateful and thrilled. Thanks be to God.

  71. Dear St. Therese of Lisieux
    .. You never leave me behind. You are always here guiding me to do the right thing to do and to be able to understand of whatever needs to address and also you help me to release all the pain inside of my heart. Thank you for the strength, wisdom and love. I love you so much. ❤️

  72. I prayed for my daughter who hates me, on the 4th Day of the Novena.
    My boss who is tormenting me and not approving my work related trip talked to me and approved.
    As for my brother he is still at large, help me to pray for him,
    I thank God for His Mercies

  73. I am leading a group to Lisieux and Paris in Spring 2024. I asked St Therese to help me reach the required 10 to make the tour happen. We reached that goal on Day 6 of the Novena. Praise be to Jesus Christ through St. Therese’s intercession
