Let me tell you a little something about St. Therese the Little Flower. I was complaining in the confessional about the state of the "dating world" yeeeeeeeears ago. The priest handed me a prayer card of St. Therese and told me to ask her to send me a husband. After all, she has promised to spend her eternity sending roses down to earth. So I did. A few times. But never with great devotion (to my shame). A few years later, on October 1st, I had a picnic in the rain with handsome guy I had met through CatholicMatch.com. I was the first woman he had ever met up with via the website. It was a good first date even though I clumsily busted my own pinky in his car door. Less than two years later, we were married. It wasn't until marriage year two (or three) that I realized our First date Anniversary is also St. Therese's Feast Day. *cue the goosebumps* GOD IS GOOD. Her novena starts on September 22nd. You can get daily reminders with the prayers via Pray More Novenas and I will also be posting the prayers and a reminder on Instagram daily. Have you received a rose of St. Therese? How can I pray for you during her novena this year?
