Greetings in Jesus and Mary... I pray all of you will have a blessed Christmas...I will post a prayer to St. Therese of the Child Jesus below. May she intercede for us and shower us with the graces found in the Heart of the Infant Jesus. I will not be posting here for a while because I am leaving out of state to help one of my daughters who is having another baby and will be needing help. I will not be back till the end of January so I will not be posting anything on this website until then but I would like to encourage all to check out the articles written in years past...there are so many. I am amazed that I have been doing this since 2017. Please keep my daughter Margaret in prayer. I will come back the end of January to give the update and change the info in the corner of this page to 9 grandchildren. God is very good. Please pray for safe travels and health for all during my stay. I thank you! Below is a prayer to St. Therese of the Child Jesus found in an old novena book... O Dear St. Therese, friend and spouse of the Child Jesus, we humbly thank you for the manifold blessings which you have procured for us from the throne of God's infinite mercy! To you the glowing star in this night of modern materialism, we turn for guidance and for assistance. Fill the minds of both our boys and girls with the lofty, yet simple ideas of purity, obedience and sacrifice. Soften the hardened hearts of every sinner so that he will know how sweet it is to serve our Lord Jesus Christ! Relying upon your promise to shower down roses from your heavenly throne we beseech you to be our powerful intercessor before Jesus Christ. Beg Him to send down blessings of health to those who have besought Him; to shower down happiness on those hearts that are ladened with grief. Fill our souls with faith, with hope and with love. And especially pray that we may receive the gift of final perseverance so that when life's stormy day has passed we may join you in the garden courts of heaven to shower down roses on those whom we, too, will leave behind. O Father in Heaven, Who through St. Therese of the Child Jesus, do desire to remind the world of the merciful Love that fills Your Heart, and the childlike trust we should have in You, humbly we thank You for having crowned with so great glory Your ever faithful child, and for giving her wondrous power to bring unto You, day by day, innumerable souls who will praise You eternally. St. Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face, pray for us. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us. Good St. Joseph, pray for us. Dearest Infant Jesus, bless us.
