Reasons to pray Saint Therese of Liseaux’s novena

Today September 22nd St. Thérèse starts (as October 1st is her feast day) and I decided to share a bit about the devotion to this Saint. Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face was a French carmelite nun who is known for her beautiful writings and her simple and practical approach to spiritual life which she called “the little way”. She came from a Saint family and joined the carmelite at age 15, she died at a young age but had a profound impact in the world through her writings that preaches about a spirituality based on trust in God and a desire to do small things with great love

Her intercession is asked for making important decisions (like discernment in vocation, engagement and religious vocation, which college to attend…), for healing (yours or of a loved one), to find a holy spouse, help with finding employment/new job / career, an increase in virtue(humility like her little way, chastity, piety, courage, grace to follows God’s will), conversion of loved ones , and for urgent or seemingly impossible requests.

Roses are often asked for as a sign of her intercession since she said, "When I die I will send down a shower of roses from the heavens." I have heard from so many of my friends who are devout to her of answered prayers that have come through the sign of receiving a rose

Even Pope Francis has prayed the Novena Rose Prayer, he said, "When I don't know how things are going to go, I have a custom of asking St Therese of the Child Jesus to take the problem into her hands and that she send me a rose."

Her novena is a shorter one with a starter prayer and 24 glories in homage to the 24 years she spent on earth and each day after finishing praying one “Hail Mary” and one “Our Father”.

On the first day we pray for the sanctification of Clergy. In the second for the missionaries worldwide and their necessities either spiritual or material and on the third for the Christians that are persecuted and martyrs. The intention for the fourth day is for the union and sanctification of families. In the 5th we pray for the depressed, for the oppressed and for those that lack direction in their lives while on the 6th we pray for the youth. In the 7th for the sick and so we can have a heart full of God’s love, the 8th we pray for prisoners and those incarcerated inside themselves by sin and on the last day we pray for the nonbelievers.

“ And the name of the virgin was Mary. " (St. Luke 1:27)

In this simple phrase, St. Luke sums up the greatness of Mary, as epitomized in her holy name. The name of Mary was chosen by the Almighty God for the masterpiece of His creation, the Mother of His Divine Son, and was revealed to Sts. Anne and Joachim, Mary's parents by the Angel Gabriel.

The feast in Honor of Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary originated in Spain and was approved by the Holy See in 1513. Pope Innocent XI extended its observance to the whole Church in 1683 in thanksgiving to our Lady for the victory on September 12, 1683, by John Sobieski, king of Poland, over the Turks, who besieged Vienna.

The Council of Ephesus in 431 taught that the Blessed Virgin Mary was properly called the "Mother of God" or "God-Bearer" (Theotokos). By the sixth century, the angelic greeting in Luke 1:28 was commonly used as a prayer, "Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you!" By the fourteenth century, the second part of the Hail Mary prayer was often used in conjunction, "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death." In the sixteenth century, the Council of Trent, in its catechism, formally recommended this entire prayer, as we have it today, to the faithful.

St. Louis de Montfort said, "The whole world is filled with her glory, and this is especially true of Christian peoples, who have chosen her as guardian and protectress of kingdoms, provinces, dioceses, and towns. Many cathedrals are consecrated to God in her name. There is no church without an altar dedicated to her, no country or region without at least one of her miraculous images where all kinds of afflictions are cured and all sorts of benefits received. Many are the confraternities and associations honoring her as patron; many are the orders under her name and protection; many are the members of sodalities and religious of all congregations who voice her praises and make known her compassion. There is not a child who does not praise her by lisping a 'Hail Mary.' There is scarcely a sinner, however, hardened, who does not possess some spark of confidence in her. The very devils in hell, while fearing her, show her respect."

Prayer in Honor of the Name of Mary by St. Alphonsus de Ligouri

O great Mother of God and my Mother Mary, it is true that I am unworthy to name thee; but thou, who lovest me and desirest my salvation, must, notwithstanding the impurity of my tongue, grant that I may always invoke thy most holy and powerful name in my aid, for thy name is the succor of the living, and the salvation of the dying. Ah, most pure Mary, most sweet Mary, grant that henceforth thy name may be the breath of my life. O Lady, delay not to help me when I invoke thee, for in all the temptations which assail me, and in all my wants, I will never cease calling upon thee, and repeating again and again, Mary, Mary. Thus it is that I hope to act during my life, and more particularly at death, that after that last struggle, I may eternally praise thy beloved name in heaven, O clement, O pious, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.
