Dear Cheryl,
I hope you are able to take time today to celebrate with us the life and spirit of our dear friend, St. Therese. The Carmelites will remember you and your intentions at all of their Feast Day Masses, especially at the National Shrine in Darien, IL.
While many pilgrims from all over are joining us at the National Shrine, we know not everyone can be here. That is why I am inviting you to join us in our Feast Day Novena Prayer. This special prayer will be recited at our Feast Day Masses.

St. Therese Feast Day Novena

St. Therese, Flower of fervor and love, please intercede for us.
Fill our hearts with your pure love of God.
As we celebrate your Feast Day,
make us more aware of the goodness of
God and how well He tends His garden.
Instill in us your little way of doing
ordinary things with extraordinary love.
Give us the heart of a child who wonders
at life and embraces everything with loving enthusiasm.
Teach us your delight in God’s ways
so that divine charity may blossom in our hearts.
Little Flower of Jesus, bring our petitions
before God, our Father.
With your confidence, we come before Jesus
as God’s children,
because you are our heavenly friend.
As we celebrate the Feast Day of your
homecoming in heaven, continue to
shower roses and grace upon us.
Amen

Feast Day Blessings,
