Ask a Saint

Prayer is powerful. When I listen to pastors speak, they remind me that when we pray, that allows God to work in our lives. Prayer is just talking. Prayer does not have to be fancy or long. The best prayers are the genuine-heartfelt simple prayers. But have you ever thought about praying to a saint to help you on your journey? There’s tons of novena prayers that are tailored made to help those who want to pray to a specific saint. Saints are unique, just as you and I are unique. Saints in a way are like specialists. If you have a specific problem that you need help in….most likely there is a saint that specializes in that specific problem.

Do you still pray to God if you pray to a saint? Absolutely! Heaven is filled with saints, angels, guardians, that can help you…so why not include them along with your prayers to God.

Throughout the past 14 years, I’ve prayed to 
St. Thérésé: The Little Flower

For citation purposes, I do not know who wrote this prayer. I have had the St. Thérésé prayer for many years; at this point, I just know the prayer by memory.  If you would like a little additional help in your prayer life, please feel free to use this St. Thérésé prayer. All of heaven is gloriously by your side…telling you… you can make it. If you need a little extra help…just ask a saint.

St. Thérésé

St. Thérésé, the little flower of Jesus…please pick a rose from the heaven garden

And send it to me with a message of love.

I beseech you to obtain for me the favors that I seek

(Insert your request(s))

Recommend my request(s) to Mary, Queen of Heaven

So that she may intercede for me with you before her son, Jesus Christ.

If this favor is granted

I will love you more and more

And be better prepared to send eternal happiness with you in Heaven.

St. Thérésé, the little flower…please pray for me.

I come in Jesus’ name, Amen.
