Saint Therese of Lisieux: A Gateway

Never in my 50 years has anything had remotely as great an impact on my spirituality as has your Story of a Soul. None but your own words could have so eloquently described your journey of the "little things" to the fullness of Christ Jesus.
Tearfully I regret that while visiting Bayeux, France some ten years ago with my wife and children, I decided that we NOT visit your home and shrine in nearby Lisieux, despite my wife's fervent request that we do so.
At the time I had not even the faintest notion of the spiritual greatness of Jesus' "Little Flower." Instead I allowed my worries of our family being stranded in France to override the opportunity of just one more afternoon in Normandy - at Lisieux - because of a national worker's strike there. How many opportunities we are afforded but we fail to see them!

Saint Therese, I pray for your intercession to bring me to spiritual health, and to make my family whole again, if that is God's Will.

Really interesting website. Thanks especially for the information on researching St. Therese.

Happy Birthday Dear Blessed Louis Martin,

God of eternal love, You give us Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin, the parents of St. Therese, as an example of holiness in marriage. They remained faithful to You in all the duties and trials of life. They desired to raise their children to become saints. May their prayers and example help Christian family life to blossom in our world today.

If it be Your Will, grant me the grace I now ask of You, through the intercession of Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin, and let them be counted among the Saints in Your Church. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Thanks God, for letting me know st. therese, my spiritual sister, whom i highly admired of.may her prayers be a light to my journey to priesthood.

''Jesus, did not asked from us great things but only abandonment and gratitude''

“If you wish to be a saint—and it will not be hard—keep only one end in view: always do everything in order to please Jesus.” --St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Thank you, my sister and my friend, for leading me to Fr. Marie-Eugene of the Child Jesus.

Thank you for the many roses you have given me. Help me and all your followers to do the three essential things:
* Keep our focus always on Jesus, especially His face, so that we may live constantly in His presence.
* Be absolutely faithful and good in discharging our duties and responsibilites, just as you were.
* Act always with love, for love, in love so that our lives may become not a devotion or a secret path but a pure testimony to the eternal primacy of Love.

Dear Therese,
i dont know how to thank you in words help me to live in the same way you lived. I love you and i believe you that you will interceed for me to Christ to grow in Holiness
Thank you for the one who created this site

Dear Maureen,
You have created a most invaluable extensive site on our beloved St. Therese, our sister and friend. Your devotion towards her benefits us all! Thank you so much for all you have done and continue to do in providing us with the most recent information along with so much historical information. May God bless you always in this great endeavour!

Awesome site thanks

A very useful site - thankyou!

I was searching on the internet to read about Saint Therese and came about your blog. This is very interesting site - a good resource for everybody.

Thanks

St. Therese, I thank you for the roses that you have shown me (lots of times...especially when my heart is doubting). In your little way, you whisper to my heart that I should never lose hope & trust in Our Lord & our Immaculate Lady. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart & soul for your intercession to our Lord Jesus Christ. May I be like a little child in trusting that everything is already in God's plan & that He has already sent His angels to bring the blessings & graces from Him. Thank you & I love you!

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.

This is an amazing site, It's good to see people still appreciate Saint Therese!

Im not Catholic and never go to church but recently I became amazed by some extraordinary testimonies and stories of some Catholic saints namely, St Therese and Our Lady of Lourdes.
Its also a conincidence that I am going through an extremely difficult time where in just a few weeks Im getting married in a foreign country and I have no money at all except my return ticket.
I am therefore seeking God in prayer through St Therese for assistance.I know Im not a pure or holy person and I dont know if God listens to my prayers, All I know is the Blessed Lady of St Therese is such a loving, kind, warmth and amazing saint whom God has Blessed. From the honesty of my heart and the truthfulness of my soul.
May the precious Lord Bless you and keep you by his side.

Happy New Year to everyone... :)

O sacred and adorable Trinity, hear our prayers on behalf of our holy Father the Pope, our Bishops, our clergy, and for all that are in authority over us. Bless, we beseech Thee, during the coming year, the whole Catholic Church; convert heretics and unbelievers; soften the hearts of sinners so that they may return to Thy friendship; give prosperity to our country and peace among the nations of the world; pour down Thy blessings upon our friends, relatives, and acquaintances, and upon our enemies, if we have any; assist the poor and the sick; have pity on the souls of those whom this year has taken from us; and do Thou be merciful to those who during the coming year will be summoned before Thy judgment seat. May all our actions be preceded by Thy inspirations and carried on by Thy assistance, so that all our prayers and works, having been begun in Thee, may likewise be ended through Thee. Amen.
