Sunflower Headbands

The girls celebrated the traditional Feast Day of St. Therese at our second meeting on Oct. 3. Each Little Flower received a sunflower headband in honor of her feast day.

Handprint Lily Pen

October 10, 2009 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Crafts, Little Flowers

I held my second Little Flowers meeting of the year on the the first Saturday of October. St. Faustina, Mercy and Lily were the themes. I chose a Handprint Lily for the craft but added a twist.

Here is my tutorial.

I prepped all the supplies into individual baggies for each girl. I would suggest to have the hands traced and cut prior to the meeting/craft. It is helpful to have a few extra glue guns available.

I placed a tag with the memory-scripture verse for Mercy on the pens that the girls will be delivering to the women on our parish staff. Each girl had the option of putting the tag on their pen to give away.

Have mercy on Me, Oh God, in your goodness; in the greatness of your compassion, wipe out my offense. ~Psalms: 51.3-4

Oct. 7

Lord, fill our hearts with your love, and as you revealed to us by an angel the coming of your Son as man, so lead us through his suffering and death to the glory of his resurrection, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Feast Day of the Little Flower

October 1, 2009 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: St. Therese

Oct. 3 – St. Theresa of the Child Jesus, virgin

On St. Therese’s Deathbed

“On the day of her death, in the evening of September 30th 1897, St. Therese said: ‘Never would I have believed it was possible to suffer so much! Never! Never! I cannot explain this except by the ardent desires I have had to save souls.’ St. Therese suffered for you also, so that you too could be ‘possessed’ by God as she was, so that you too could live an Evangelical radicalism as she did.” (The Gift of Faith, pg. 92-93)
