Prayer Text
O Little Therese of the Child Jesus, please pick for me a rose from the heavenly gardens and send it to me as a message of love. O Little Flower of Jesus, ask God today to grant the favors I now place with confidence in your hands. (Mention your intention.) St. Therese, help me to always believe, as you did, in God's great love for me, so that I might imitate your Little Way each day. Amen.
