Ideas for Celebrating the Feast of St. Therese

by | Oct 1, 2010 | Feast Day Plans, St. Therese | 10 comments

The Feast of St. Therese is celebrated on October 1st on the New Calendar, and on October 3rd on the Traditional Calendar. Here are some ideas to celebrate this special feast:

Prayers:

    A MORNING PRAYER WRITTEN BY ST. THERESE

    O my God! I offer Thee all my actions of this day for the intentions and for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart, my every thought, my simplest works, by uniting them to Its infinite merits; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them into the furnace of Its Merciful Love.

    O my God! I ask of Thee for myself and for those whom I hold dear, the grace to fulfill perfectly Thy Holy Will, to accept for love of Thee the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in heaven for all Eternity. Amen.

    Crafts:

    • Knit a St. Therese Doll.  The pattern can be purchased here from my friend Amy.  This is the beautiful one she made for my little Rose.  (You can also purchase a darling St. Therese Doll from Saintly Silver and another of our favorites from Catholic Child.) 
    • Embroider a St. Therese Doll using Charlotte’s lovely pattern.   Here is the one that I embroidered last year during “E” Week
    • Another idea is to print out one of the many online images of St. Therese, and make homemade holy cards.

    Printable Activities:  (From St. Therese Catholic Church *currently not available, so I removed the links.  I will keep looking to see if I can find them elsewhere…)

      “You know well enough that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them.”

      St. Therese, pray for us!

      This is quite a round-up! Thanks for sharing all of these fantastic ideas! I love the chocolate favor boxes. Wish I would have had that idea when I threw the St. Therese baby shower. Happy feast day! 🙂

    Prayer of Mothers

    Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

    A Little About Me

    Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
