The Miraculous Novena to Saint Therese: an invitation

The Miraculous Novena to Saint Therese begins on Tuesday, September 22nd.

This the Novena that people have been praying for years and years, asking Therese for a rose as a signal grace related to their intention. Therese said that she wanted to spend her heaven doing good on earth and letting fall from heaven a shower of roses. She has certainly delivered on that promise as countless people of faith can attest (myself included!).

No matter what your connection, or lack thereof, to Therese is as you read this and leading into these days of prayer, I invite you to pray during these 9 days with us here on Qui Minimo. Last year, over 2,000 of you joined via social media and the testimonies were flowing. This is a great opportunity to bring the small or great cares of your heart and life to Therese's intercession, to confidently ask her for a rose, and to really deepen that Theresian spirit of faith in your own life.

Therese said, "we can never have too much confidence in the good God...as we hope in Him, so shall we receive"; and elsewhere she wrote, "Let us not grow tired of prayer: confidence works miracles". Believe that the good Lord loves you and wants you to be aware of His love and presence in your life, in your cares, in your sorrows and worries.

If you want to join in this novena, be sure to sign up for the emails HERE.
