| When I was born, I was very ill, as my RH factor was incompatible with my mother's. While she was in the hospital, she petitioned St. Therese to help me. Later, she awoke to see St. Therese at the foot of her bed, telling her that I would be well and grow strong. After that the doctor came into the room to tell her that I was improving quickly and a blood transfusion, which she had feared, was not going to be necessary. My mother always credited this to St. Therese's intercession, and named me Therese Marie in her honor. |

| I will never forget how St. Therese came into my life. I clearly remember walking into church one afternoon so desperate and alone. I felt as if the world had closed in on me. When I opened the church door I immediately saw many statues of Saints, I looked around and I started to pray to each and every saint. I started at one end of the church and I prayed to each and every single saint that was displayed. Many Saints I didn't know who they were but I prayed anyway. St. Therese was one of the many saints that I didn't know, well when I got to her I felt something come over me, I started to pray to her and suddenly I stopped and I just stared at her. I felt as if she knew what I needed and I didn't have to ask her. I suddenly began to feel at ease just being there next to her. I sat there next to her for a while and then I got in my car and headed home. All night I thought of her and the next day I went back to church to pray to her again. When I got there I noticed a prayer card next to her so I grabbed it and I prayed to St. Therese every day, well St. Therese came through for me. She made the impossible, possible. A true miracle. St. Therese will forever have a very special place in my heart, she is a true companion, she will never leave us. Through the darkest of my days, I will
never fear again because I know I am not alone and that she is always with me. I can't wait to meet St. Therese in heaven and thank her for all she has done for me. Thank you St. Therese for being a sister and a true friend. I love you with all my heart and soul ~ Thank you....... |

| In 2007 I went on a pilgramage to France. I was excited to go to Lourdes as I had always love Our Lady and St. Bernadette. This tour however was for all the shrines and we also went to Normandy and heard Mass at St.Therese's Basilica. I knew of her but I was so excited about Lourdes I didn't pay much attention although I did pray at her tomb. That was in June. A year later I was in San Francisco on a business trip. I own a small business and I was visiting my biggest client. I was 3000 miles away from home when the banks in the USA collapsed starting the great recession that still continues. When I went to visit my client I was told my contract was canceled. I was - at that moment - 3000 miles from home and out of business. I so shocked I went out and got drunk I am ashamed to say. The next day I was crying in my hotel room and someone sent me an email with a Novena to St. Therese. I was desparate so I prayed for help. Then I went downstairs and asked for the nearest Catholic Church so I could go to Mass. The church was St. Peters but when I walked in there was a large statue of St. Therese holding her roses and smiling at me. Afterward I went to dinner and there was a display of 60 red roses in the restuarant. I flew home and within 6 weeks ( at Christmas time no less) I had a new client and earned new income. I started grabbing every book I could on this little saint and I now have an alter to her in my home. I love her, she is part of my family now. Recently I had an operation and I took her picture with me. When I woke up in the hospital there was a single rose next to my bed. The other patients all had carnations. For some reason I received a rose. No one in my family sent it. St. Therese was also instrumental in answering my prayer for my daughter - who went to confession for the first time in 12 years. I have not always been a good Catholic. I have committed many serious sins in my life - but I feel St. Therese grabbed me that day in San Francisco and is the reason for my conversion. With her help I hope to see her face to face in heaven someday and thank her personally. St. Therese - I love you so. |

| About 12 yrs ago The relics of Saint Therese came to Our parish and unfortunately I had gone away for the weekend .I didn't really know much about St.Therese and I was dumbfounded by all of the fuss around the arrival of the relics.My family attended and my Dad had organised lots of roses to be blessed inside of the church. I was fortunate enough to receive a blessed rose and Novena card. It sat in the draw of my bedside table for a long time.My dad told me about the story of her life and the amazing ways she assisted in bringing hope to those who prayed the novena.One day feeling so deperately sad and powerless I remembered the rose and I opened that draw and began the novena.I prayed for the intercession of this amazing Saint in my life and my three requests..within 12 months all of my prayers had been answered.That was 8 yrs ago.
Now my 5yr old child has had some serious heath issues involving her heart , her brain and her eyes.Her and I had to travel 1000kms for some extensive testing as we live in a remote part of Australia, leaving my husband and son behind..She had to have a general aneasthetic and this was a tough time as I was scared and alone in the waiting room.My hsuband's aunt told me of a simple prayer that her Parish priest would teach to the children.I sat alone reciting the prayer over and over..SAINT THERESES,LITTLE FLOWER,IN THIS HOUR, PRAY FOR ME.She came out of the aneasthetic great and was eating ice cream 10 mins later. Her heart problem was
downgraded,what they thought was a tumour in her brain they are now calling a cyst and allthough she has a problem with her eyes ,she can see clearly and does not require glasses.We still have to attend clinics every 3 months but I know that Saint Theres has lovingly answered my prayers and and I feel so greatfull and overcome by the her intercessions.

| Saint Therese has always been with me all of my life.
I choose her name for my comfirmation name. There were years that I got away from my religion but St.Therese never let me forget her no matter how far I wandered.
She has granted me too many favors to count but one always stands out. It was about ten years ago and my son had a blood test and they told him he had a blood disease that would have to be mananged all of his life and give blood every month and watch his diet. He was to return to this Doctor in six months after her gave blood three times for a repeat blood test. I prayed to St. Therese every day all day asking her to send me a rose from her heavenly garden as a message of love.
One day I went out to the mail and was opening it when a pin with a rose on it fell out of the envelope, I stared at it when the phone rang and it was my son telling me that his blood work was perfect and that they made a mistake and he did not have the disease afterall! I then knew the meaning of the Rose Pin.
St.Therese is always there if you just ask and she is always there beside me every day of my life!
Thank you my lovely Saint Therese, I love you! |
