She’s a great kid very deserving of love and happiness. In Jesus name and St Therese I pray. God Bless You all and I pray everyone has their hearts blessed. ❤️

  13. Dear St Therese, I try so hard to be kind and loving to all. I know I can at times feel frustrated and express this frustration. I want to be a good person, to be always loving and kind, but it is so hard to do that when someone is deliberately being unkind to me. I have turned theother cheek, I have forgiven, but sometimes it is very hurtful to be constantly put down, especially from my husband. I feel he projects his issues off on me and I have to realize he is doing just that. I am not asking for millions of dollars, a gorgeous house to live in, or an abundance of clothing. I am a simple person, I don’t spend money needlessly, I do want the necessities of life and at times some comfort. Please help me to be more loving and to turn away when he says mean things to me.

  16. Dear St. Therese, pray for me to depend and trust God. Pray that God will convert my husband and my marriage will be restored. Pray that my daughter will leave the religion and church she is attending as they don’t believe in all Christian beliefs. Pray that she will meet a Christ like husband and get married. Pray that Michael will call all the time and see me at least twice a week and that our relationship will grow stronger.

  33. I am a 50 year old man, having procrastinated, throughout most of my adult life, in every aspect of my life, including, having a social life. I desperately need to make friends, outside of the workplace. So that I can have the social involvement that I so desperately need. But I also need to change my line of work. At the moment, I work as a support worker. And I am desperate to change my line of work into something else, entirely different. A different line of work, all together. Which is proving difficult, owing to lack of skills. So, if you can pray for me, that I will eventually find a different line of work, that will give me the financial freedom that I need, and something that I know that I would enjoy doing?

  50. I would like to start a Novena for a very dear friend. She is an invalid (early 60’s) with very many health problems and in constant pain. Her back is totally deteriorating…barely any cartilage, plus arthritis. She can hardly walk. This is in addition to all her other health problems (fought cancer twice, lost all her teeth to radiation and chemo, stomach and bladder problems, which means she is home-bound (except for doctor appt. and store). The doctors are cutting down on her pain meds due to all the cut-backs. So far, I am her only support. I bought her an older car (it’s 6 years newer than mine) which is starting to need repairs; and a stove (she did without for 3 years). I’ve helped her out financially ($10,000), but I am on Social Security and can’t afford to help her much more. Her dryer went out, so I bought her a laundry stand to dry her clothes ( I can’t afford to buy her a new dryer and she lives a distance from me. However, I periodically clean her house and do her dishes and grocery shopping. She just found out her furnace won’t work. I can’t keep up with paying for her house taxes, meds, repairs, etc. Since everything is constantly going wrong for her, she’s starting to loose her faith. She’s tried to get help from numerous sources, but all tell her there are no funds or they can’t help (transportation for dr. appts. when her car isn’t running, help with cleaning her home, food lunch delivery, furnace & other repairs, etc. I would appreciate it if we would all pray for her spiritual, physical, mental and financial needs. Thank you. May God bless you.
