I have been struggling feeling the comfort and peace of my faith lately. I feel I am in a drought of faith. I used to feel much more happy and at peace with the world with my faith. In 2026, that had drained away quite a bit. Pray for an outpouring of faith to enter my life, accompanied by an abundance of blessings and protection in my life. May my faith shine brightly, especially in this upcoming autumn/winter season of darkness and cold. Thank you, from John King, aged 41 in Northern Ireland

I am so grateful to be able to ask you, St. Therese, to pray for Kirstin and the baby. Please ask Jesus to keep Kirstin’s blood pressure under control so the baby can stay in the womb until it is time for delivery. Thank you,St. Thérèse for your intercession.

St Therese, please take care of my only sibling, my only sister. Please, make her
memory clear again as she had a mini stroke. She take care of her as she
goes for tests on Oct. 16th or near the date. I feel down and out, as she
is all i have, that loved me. I wish for prayers to watch over me, as I am having
worried and feeling very low inside.

The Memore
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided, inspired by this confidence I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen

Thank you for all the roses and gifts from Jesus!
