St. Therésè Sacrifice Beads

by | Sep 29, 2011 | Crafts, Little Flowers, Little Flowers Wreath IV, St. Therese | 1 comment

St. Therésè, the Little Flower, as a child, used a small string of beads in her pocket to help her count the gifts she did to offer to God. In this way she was able to advance in perfection daily. You too, can grow in holiness by following the example of the Little Flower.

Sacrifice Beads or Good Deed Beads are a string of ten beads, which can be pulled and remain in place. They are used to count the acts of love or sacrifices a person makes in a day for God. The string of beads helps a person to grow in virtue by challenging them to be faithful in making acts of love each day. Sacrifice Beads also have a fixed Our Father bead on the end of them and can double up as a rosary.”

For our 6th Little Flowers Girls’ Club Meeting for Wreath IV, which focuses on St. Therese and the gift of Piety, we will be making Sacrifice Beads using cord and beads in the color “Amethyst,” the jewel for this particular meeting.
Supplies:
11 Pony Beads 
25″ Piece of Cord
1 Miraculous Medal or St. Therese Medal
1 Crucifix

“Without love, deeds – even the most brilliant, 
count as nothing” – St. Therésè of Lisieux

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.
