  1. I told my business partner about this Novena on Sat. the 23rd (the second day of the Novena) because we share a common petition. She is not Catholic. I told her about St. Therese being known as “The Little Flower” and that she said “When I die, I will send down a shower of roses from the heavens. I will spend my heaven by doing good on earth.” That was Saturday. Tuesday the 26th was my birthday and that same business partner had a beautiful flower arrangement sent to me at our place of business from the florist that we use for all of our needs with our clients. Along with that beautiful arrangement, the owner of the floral shop decided to send a “thank you” gift to her best accounts and she sent us a large florist container filled with red, pink, and white ROSES – 60 of them – I counted! It was stunning! I’ve never seen that many roses together – ever! We were literally “SHOWERED WITH ROSES”! I couldn’t believe it! She could have thanked us with a much less expensive arrangement or flower choice, but she chose ROSES – and 60 of them! I know that St. Therese heard our prayers! She heard the prayers of all of the people praying this Novena! That was a beautiful confirmation to us all that Heaven hears us! Sometimes we need that consolation – even if we don’t get the answers we want from our petitions. Praise be to God! <3

  2. Throughout the many novenas I’ve prayed with this community, I’ve pleaded with the Lord, His Blessed Mother and the holy saints we honor to bring forgiveness, reconciliation and restoration to my family. My prayers are being answered for which I give my deepest and most heartfelt thanks and praise.

  3. With thanksgiving my prayers are being answered and that they all bring positive results. I continue to pray that all falls perfectly in God’s Light and Christ’s abundance may manifest.
    In Christ’s name and thank you Jesus I pray.

  4. God in the Holy Name is Jesus Through the Holy Spirit and the intercession of the Blessed Mother and all the saints and angels in heaven, thank you for all Americans the blessings of this Novena in my life oh my family’s life and all the people in this Novena. I don’t know everything that has been healed but I am aware that there is a kind of a little more peace in our lives even though there are major problems. Thankful that Dan did not go off the deep end when his dad told him he would not help him financially. He now has only $300 in his account and is facing big bills this week Lord please have a solution give a solution to ban a good solution how to come up with the money. And I pray for him and for everybody in his life that you are putting in his life you have good in his life and will put him in his life to deal with this particular situation. You know are many other problems Lord and I thank you for all that I can’t see that you’re doing I thank you for the gift of faith and trust which I think is a result of many prayers for many people in this Novena if everyone else praying. Continue to beg prayers for faith and trust to grow in each of us that we may know the will of God and do his will and walk in true true honest faith and trust in God, eliminating all false fears, so we can’t walk and trust and faith. All for the honor and glory of God. Thank you

  5. Thank you for the signs that my prodigal son is thinking about his faith. He also seems more open to communication with his family. Thank you for my daughter’s grad teacher giving her the confidence she needs to move forward. Please continue to bless our family as we open our home to my mother in-law. May this be the beginning of strengthening our family relations.

  6. Hi my name is Debbie and I’m asking looking for help and peace of mind due to my husband of 40 years just recently leafy our marriage for another women . I’m so very devastated and having trouble getting over it , please ask god to give me the strength and peace of mind to get though this difficult time .amen

  7. I lost my job and was going through some turmoil and I never doubted the Lord and his strength. It took me a long time to get the last job I had and really have been dealing with some tough issues but I had two interviews last week and one was pushed back from the storm Irma but I ended up getting an offer and hope my background check goes through but I am steadfast in my love and share this message with all, so don’t give in but give it up to the Lord! I will donate after my first pay check and thanks for all the lovely novenas, they truly make my day

  8. Thank you for praying for my intentions. I look forward to seeing the God-given results in the near future. Thank you, Jesus.

  9. I’ve been praying your novenas for quite a while now and have often kept a young lady in my prayers. She has had a hard time conceiving. I heard this week she is now pregnant and is expecting a baby boy early next year. Thank you Lord.

  10. My prayer intention for this novena was for St. Therese to oversee all the preparations for the upcoming birth of my firstborn (due in November)… I’m a little overwhelmed. Halfway through the novena we purchased a car and tomorrow, her feast day is my baby shower. She is so sweet that little sister of mine. Merci petite soeur! Love you!

  11. I was praying for help with discernment as to where to Lord was calling me to go to college next year (if at all), and it has been a difficult process given that I am a sophomore at my current university. The answer has been made clear to me, thanks to St. Thérèse and change is on the horizon! Thanks be to God for answer, but prayers for this transition would be appreciated.

  12. Thank you God for hearing my prayer and letting me get good test results for test taken on 9/25/17 & 9/28/17. Please leave me get good test results on 10/23/17. Thank you Saint Therese for helping me be a better person and interceding for me.
    Jesus, I trust in you.
    Jesus, I love you.
    Thank you for all you do for the world.

  13. I have been praying for contact, preferable a call over a text from a prodigal loved one. I recieved two calls from him this week during this novena. It happened when i was least expecting it. I am very grateful. Thank you St. Therese for your intercession and thank you Lord for answered prayers. God Bless everyone praying this novena.

  14. St Therese I believe you have interceded for a miracle for our entire family,that I do not yet know or see. I have been praying this novena with my whole heart. And years of novenas to you. Like Mother Angelica, was healed by you thru mystic Rhoda Wise. Please St Therese bring this urgently before the good God as you call Him. Thank you. It s the last day of the novena

  15. Thank you St. Therese for answering my prayers for my husband to show more commitment to his family and home by spending more quality time and doing house chores. Thanks for causing friends who have hurt me to confess and take responsibility for their lies. You are a remarkable saint!

  16. Dearest st theresa all my prayers had a answear I thank you and my dearest Lord God this novena handmade me more closer to God
    .

  17. I prayed for good physical health throughout life. While ill during this novena I healed quickly and steadily maintained strength each day . I am so grateful to St. Therese Lisiuex

  18. My prayers for my grandson were answered on the 6th We still have a ways to go for recovery but he is on the new path. Thanks for the prayers. They are so appreciated!

  19. I’ve prayed many novenas and that have been answered but none of them as immediately as this one…literally days into starting it. This novena started at the same time as a family crisis and almost as soon as my heart let me hand the crisis over to God and to St. Therese, the situation started reversing itself. I am ever so grateful for God’s mercy and the intercession of saints.

  20. Thank You for the gift of your Novena.
    My faith is made stronger, i draw near to St. Therese!
    I have found myself in Her.
    In her simplicity, in her love, in small ways of sharing love each day.
    I will remain always, eternally grateful to St. Therese and John-Paul and Annie!

  21. A have experienced great healing within myself with feelings of conflicted gender identity finally abating for the first time in my fifty years as I come to truly understand and accept the Lord’s saving grace in my life.

  22. St. Therese rescued my small business in 2008 when everything crashed. That is how she introduced herself to me- as a miracle worker. This week I was blessed with deals and orders beyond my dreams. My business is thriving and my family, friends and the Carmelites have a grateful patron in me. I love you St. Therese! Thank you!

  23. Thanking you in prayer. I did get
    enough money together to go visit
    my son. We are having a wonderful
    visit. I feel I have been so blessed.
    Prayers be with you

  24. On the 5th day of this Novena, the day of forgiveness, I was moved by the Holy Spirit to reach out to an estranged family member who has hurt my family over and over again. Because Jesus said that we should forgive 70 times 7 times, I felt that I should reach out as Jesus would have done. It was a simple message that I was praying for her, which was my own way of showing forgiveness. Her response was unpresidented; one of sincerity, thankfulness and humbleness. This type of communication had never occurred between the two of us before. I feel like this was the first small step of healing in my heart, and hopefully her heart as well. May she see Christ’s light shining through others’ forgiveness. Amen.

  25. Without wonderful divine inspiration I would not have contacted my Dr regarding an ongoing health problem which led to a *unfortunate * diagnosis but ultimately will now be treated and hopefully with all our prayers cured.

  26. I prayed that my daughter’s lab work would come back better then the week before. Not only did it come back better, one number quadrupled and the other number doubled! Thank you St. Theresa for answering my prayers!

  27. My husband has a live-in aide. She’s been with us for a month. She is disrespectful to me. I’ve prayed and tried to reach her. She delights in saying what a good Christian woman she is. I found myself becoming anxious. All this while praying the novena.
    This week I realized how my anxiety was negatively affecting my husband. I’ve arranged for her to be replaced. Peace has returned to our home.

    I understand that peace in our home is more what Our Lord desires. This aide can work with another person.

  28. On the 7th day of praying the Novena to St. Therese of Lisieux, our youngest son, Michael Joseph, who is a surgeon received the good news that he passed the part 2 (oral) of the qualifying examination as Diplomate of the Board of Surgery in our country which he took last 24 Sept. 2017.

    Thank you dear Lord and to St. Therese of Lisieux for answering our prayer and for for all the blessings.

    To John-Paul & Annie and to all who joined PrayMoreNovenas.com in praying together for everyone’s intentions, God bless you.

  29. I thank u Lord for bringing my family together again. My husband doesn’t have a job yet but he went for a few interviews and 2 more interviews this coming week. I thank u for that my Lord. I pray that God will send the right job for him. Thank u Lord in advance. Amen. And my 2 kids for making peace with each other. Pls work within them that they will complete their studies and that they will come back to church. Amen. Thank u Lord

  30. My prayers have been answered! I was looking for a part time job and was in desperate need of some financial assistance. God has answered my prayers through the intercession of St Therese and St Jude. Thank you for praying with me. God never fails me.

  31. I added a prayer on the 7th day for a niece who had an aneurism surgery that day at noon. I had been praying for sight for a grandchild. When the surgeon came to speak to the family after the surgery, he told them surgery was not necessary by him…another surgeon had apparently done it! The aneurism had healed!!!!! He knew who that other surgeon was!!!!

  32. My granddaughter had issues with her urinary track.. my answered prayers was that it was not a “parts” issue but a function problem, which can be corrected without any medical intervention.
    Thank you for answered prayers!!!
    Have a blessed day!

  33. My husband for almost to years abandon his obligations to us, and just on the 5th day of St. Therese Novena may husband send me message that he is flying for 1 week and he dropped some groceries for us. Thank you St. Therese for the breakthrough. Praying for full restoration of our marriage. Praise God Almighty.

  34. I always pray that the Saints and the holy Trinity keeps my family safe happy and healthy under the watchful eye of the Virgin Mary. Last week my grandchildren and I were severely rear ended in a car accident and sustained no injuries while the car was demolished all through the grace of prayer Amen

  35. I thank you ,St. Therese. I have been praying this novena, especially for my marriage. After 18 months of separation, and a few delays,our final hearing was suppose to be Wednesday (September 27) but my husband’s attorney got the flu and was unable to appear. I feel that this was yet another sign from God letting us know that he wants everything to work. I hope my husband is willing to accept his Loving Call and will answer Him. I will continue to pray with all of you and for you. Thanks and God bless you!!

    Ellen

  36. With a heart full of gratitude I thank you, St Therese, for your intercession on behalf of my son who has secured employment and on behalf of my niece who is reaching out to family in positive and consistent ways. I thank all of you prayer warriors and keep you and your intentions in my prayers. God be praised forever and ever. Amen

  37. As I was going through my petitions this morning for this novena, I realized one of them was no longer a petition but a Deo gratias. The young woman who takes the same weekly Adoration time slot that I take had not heard from her family in Puerto Rico when the novena began. She has now made contact with her brother and learned that her parents, siblings, aunts and uncles and cousins all survived Hurricane Maria. There is loss and privation but no loss of life for them. Thank you, St. Therese, for holding them up to the Lord for protection.

  38. My daughter found a good job after being unemployed for 2 months, and the sale of her house closed yesterday. Thank you St Terese and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

  39. I started praying this novena asking St Therese to help me get a supervisor for my graduate school application before my deadline which was yesterday. I haven’t got one yet, but my deadline was moved until the end of next month. I’m counting my blessings already and I am grateful for her intercession. I know that the best days are still up ahead.

  40. I won’t go into detail, though Our Lord and St. Therese know, but I was struggling with a type of self hatred for decades. Last night, eight days into the novena, Our Lord freed me from it. Thank you, St. Therese, for all of your prayers that helped me obtain this healing of my thoughts.

    I still have a great many intentions, as well as needs of which I may not be aware, but I fully believe God will grant them to me in His time.

  41. In thanksgiving for the closing on our new home and the strength to persevere when times were difficult. And for all the assurances of God’s loving presence and the shower of roses throughout this time of prayer!
    St. Therese, pray for us!

  42. I give sincere thanks to St Therese as I begin to see signs that my prayers for his return to God and the Church are being answered. He said that he was not sure that he believed in God…that was a long time. He had always been loving and considerate to the family and is a good person.
    I continue to pray that he will make the rest of the journey back to God.
    Thanks to all who have prayed this Novena as well, and thank you John Paul and Annie, for preparing and presenting these Novenas to us. may God continue to bless your work.
    Pat

  43. Thanks for blessings received inside this prayer time. St. Theresa Of Lisieux Give strength to my family that we can unite together as one soon. My husband was given a contract in his line of work. This is a blessing to us although we are still trying to get the funds together so we can move forward. Bless Dave S and his family as they deal with his illness. Thanks for all blessings received this day.

  44. I prayed that my husband would done employment as he was laid off. On the 8th day of praying to St. Therese, our prayers were answered.

  45. St. Theresa, interceded for me and I very unexpectedly came into some money to help me pay off some of my debts. Later I went to a friend’s house and she had the most beautiful rose bushes in full bloom. Thank you St. Theresa!

  46. My dear st Theresa pls give me strength. Help my son with his meds… his anxiety and depression. Help my daughter with her severe depression. Help my daughter who moved away. Help my joe function mentally. Help my mom not feel so much despair . Help my aunt see that she needs help. Please don’t let me have MS. Please. I have so many to care for.. please guide me.

  47. The actual petition has not been answered yet, but yesterday a new friend shared a story with me of Brother Carmelo Cortez, and it started with a display of rose petals, one of which bears the image of St. Therese. I was then blessed with rose oil as I held a petal in my hand. I cannot put words to the awe and gratitude I have experienced. The friend did not know I was praying this novena, but St. Therese did.

  48. I thank the Lord for his graces and beautiful works in my life and I thank the saints for their powerful intercessions these last few novenas. Through these novenas and a daily prayer I say to Our Lady Untier of Knots, I have found excellent work after almost two years jobless, and in a position I have been chasing for two years! Now projects are flowing in abundantly. Blessed be God!

  49. Thank you St Therese, for prayers answered. Our daughter had cancer last year and was out of work for a full year. She is able to go back to work finally this coming Monday this has been a very difficult time with many struggles. Prayers are what have made us through it all.

  50. After almost three years of unemployment, I’m happy to testify and thank God Almighty through the intervention of St. Therese for giving me a dream job offer. I pray that I follow her footsteps with humility and kindness for all, including my enemies so I can show that with God every thing is possible! Thank all those who have prayed this novena with me and especially the coordinators for giving us this opportunity to open our hearts ♥️ to let Lord Almighty do what’s he’s always promised. Never give up as God’s time is the best.

  51. Continue to pray for all my needs, my dog, my children,my grandsons, the world and that my grandson team win the game and that he make at least one touch down along with something else good for the team????????

  52. I have been praying for my daughter and the father of her child have a better relationship and for her to find forgiveness in her heart and she has now done this at her own will. She had a lot of hatred for him because he hurt her so much but now that she is able to forgive him things are so much better and they can communicate better when it comes to my grandson. Thank you Jesus! I have been praying for this for a very long time. I am still praying that she meet a nice Catholic man who will love her and protect her and be a great step dad to her son. I have prayed for financial guidance and God has made it possible for me to receive a loan that is of very low interest and have been able to consolidate some payments. Thank you St. Theresa for interceding to God for our financial need! Amen!

  53. Please Holy Spirit come down upon our US Congress and instill in them the graces to bring Americans back together and get along genuinely with each other. Blessed Mother pray for all of us that we may be forgiven our sins and bring us together in heaven . AMEN.

  54. I prayed this novena with my intention for my son who suffers with addiction and depression. He also had been diagnosed with a very horrific medical condition. Since praying this novena my son is in recovery and the medical condition (which is life threatening) looks to have all but disappeared. Miracles do happen and I am so thankful for these novenas and I am so thankful for the faithfulness of our Loving God! I will continue to pray with the thousands who are faithful in prayer. ????

  55. Thank forbhis many blessing I have been blessed with a job and. I pray that everything will goes off well that I will be able to excel in this job …. In the name of the father and of the and the holy Spirit.

    Thank you!!!!

  57. My son-in-law passed his Occupational Therapy board exam! He started his new job Monday! Also, we have been trying to sell our house to move to a place with a bedroom downstairs and with less to maintain, but my husband was not really engaged in finding a new house or in doing what it takes to sell ours. I prayed that God would grant him the grace to lead us in finding a new home. This week he was looking at houses without being asked and found one to look at. Though we haven’t found the right one yet, he is now participating.

  58. The pregnant woman with the very large kidney stone is still pregnant and scheduled for delivery two days from now. Everyone wanted her to carry the child for as long as possible and she’s almost there. She’ll have the kidney stone removed after delivery. She had been in agony but the last couple of weeks she’s been doing so much better with minimal pain medication. We are so relieved and thankful!

  59. I’ve been praying for do many health issues for others, self control do me, for God to bring my husband closer to him. In addition, financial guidance. We Estee both self employed. God has been showing me he’s here and he is taking care of everything! Thank you n to ask who prayed n over me, my family and friends. Please keep my family and friends who are in pain and suffering with health in your prayers along with all the natural disasters and corruption going on in our world. May God continue to show us the way!

    To my joy this term he passed and was amongst the top 10 on the very same subject Mathematics. I got his report yesterday- there is no single subject that he has underperformed. Dear God how wonderful and awesome are you- No words can explain the joy I feel today. It is joy filled with the holy spirit, joy unspeakable, joy in abundance, joy that surpasses all understanding.

  77. I have been praying that we are blessed with children in our marriage for a few years now. I pray to St Therese all the time. I prayed the novena and just on Thursday I met up with a cousin for lunch. At the end of lunch she mentioned she had some dried roses from St Rita’s basilica in Italy. She was meant to give them to me 2 years ago and it just slipped her mind (she thought she had given them to me, with some holy oil). I pray and THANK St Therese for the gift of these blesssed roses. I know this was Gods Work ! We are yet to hear if we are pregnant, but will let you all know if we have some amazing news. God is great and works in mysterious ways. Never give up and never let go of your cross. God is with each and everyone of us every step of the way. We pray for His Will. God bless

  79. I have been struggling financially. I graduated seven years ago but I feel I have been stagnant all through. I have done several novenas but still I feel that am not going anywhere. I have been tithing though I feel the promise in malachi has not been fulfilled I just survive from payslip to another. I feel discouraged because I have been praying for a car since july 2015, and up to now not even a sign. Am employed but not a very stable employment. I feel God is far from hearing my cries. I have done each and every novena posted here. What more can I do?
