The Little Flower

For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy. – St. Thérèse of Lisieux

We will start this novena to St. Therese of LIsieux and the Glory Be to the Fathers Novena(with the little ones) on Tuesday, September 22.  The novenas will end on September 30, the eve of her feast day in the new calendar.  St. Therese’s feast day in the Old Calendar is Oct. 3. 

 O Lord, You have said: Unless you become as little children you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven; grant us, we beg You, so to follow, in humility and simplicity of heart, the footsteps of the Virgin blessed Thérèse, that we may attain to an everlasting reward. Amen.
