remains when it was put on display in the CarmeliteChurch. I went there
because I was curious what was this euphoria about the world's youngest
saint whose job is to grant people's wishes?
So I went with friend Lyn and I must admit the life of the little child,
Therese, intrigued me. It turned out she was a child who wanted to serve
her God more than anything else in the world. Thus, in every chore that
she did: even watering the plants, she performed it like it was for her
Master.
Since all her siblings were Carmelite nuns, she became a nun herself, the
youngest (12?) to be allowed inside the conven t. So we're talking of a
pure "uncorrupted soul". And then she died.
But she left a journal (suggested reading!)which contained all her
thoughts about God, love and life. Since then she became the saint who
grants all wishes.
Believe it or not, my wish was granted! Not because I said a novena but
knowing about her life and reading her works inspired me and made me more
patient and persevering.
According to religious beliefs, St. Therese was known as: "The Little
Flower". Whenever you ask for intercession to her for a miracle, she will
send you a rose in one form or another when the miracle has been granted.
You may smell rose's, receive a rose by visual means, etc.
REMEMBER to make a wish before you read the poem. That's all you have to
do. There is nothing attached. This is a powerful novena. Do not break
this, please. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no
cost but a lot of reward. Let's continue praying for one another.
Make a wish before you read this poem...
May today there be peace within.
May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant
to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that
has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into our bones, and allow your soul the freedom
to sing, dance, and to bask in the sun. It is there for each and every one
of you.
