Novena to Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus

9/22/2019

Today begins the nine-day Novena of prayers to Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, the much-loved Discalced Carmelite nun who died at the young age of 24 in the Carmel of Lisieux, the town in France where she entered religious life in 1882.

Everyone who knows anything about Saint Therese knows her famous promise to spend her Heaven doing good upon Earth, a promise that many grateful individuals can attest to. There are many websites with novenas to choose from invoking the assistance of the Little Flower, but I like this one because it offers two different options and includes some longer, more traditional prayers. May she intercede for all of us, and especially those who ask for her help in the coming nine days.
