• We chose this Saint because she is my favorite
  Saint and I pray to her every night to help me be
  a good person, mother, teacher, and friend.

  little ways that I can be a blessing to others
  like St. Therese was.

St. Therese of Lisieux

• O Little Therese of the Child Jesus, please pick
  for mea 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
  specific requests). St. Therese, help me to
  always believe as you did in Gods great love for
  me, so that I might imitate your Little Way
  each day. Amen.
