The Catholic Child and the Saints :: Little Flower
Dear St. Therese, thou wert always good and obedient and always did the Will of God. Now thou art a great saint in heaven with God. Thy loving and tender heart rejoices to send down roses upon earth. O give me the sweet flower of a great love for Jesus! Pray for me that I may have all the graces I need.
– Little Flower prayer from Jesus, Make Me Worthy – a reprint of the original can be found here.

I couldn’t help smiling when my beautiful little “Rose” walked into our room early this morning wearing her new “Wild Irish Rose” t-shirt (purchased at a fun little Irish store we visited on our road trip) without any reminders from me on whose feast day is celebrated today!
St. Therese, the Little Flower, pray for us!

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.






































What a sweetheart 🙂 I love St Therese, she is a favourite saint of mine and I've often experienced her intercession.

How sweet her smiling face is, and that she wore the rose shirt on this day. I love the name of your blog and the Shower of Roses theme.

That is precious! Happy Feast Day (a day late, but I had the tab open all day yesterday and just couldn't get to the comment)
