NINE DAYS OF PRAYER
In honor of
Saint Therese of Lisieux
(The Little Flower)
Little Flower Novena Prayers
Saint Therese, who in your short life attained
angelic purity, generous love, and wholehearted
surrender to Almighty God, pray for us who
trust in you.
You have received the reward of your
virtues; obtain for us the grace to be pure of
heart and to avoid whatever may tarnish any
virtue pleasing to Gog.
May we know in every need the power of
your prayer for us. Comfort us in the sorrows of
this life especially at its end, that we be worthy
to share your happiness in Heaven. Amen.
Pray for us Saint Therese, that we may
be worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
O Lord Who has said: “Unless you become as
little children, you shall not enter in the
Kingdom of Heaven,” grant us, we implore you,
to walk in the footsteps of Saint Therese. Amen.
Intention for the First Day
Faith
Almighty God and Creator of all things, to
overcome lukewarmness and inflamed souls
with Your Love, You have enriched the soul of
Your Little Flower with such firm faith that she
longed to give her life for You. I ask You, by the
merits of her lively faith to infuse to me a like
faith. Grant that I may believe all the truthstaught by the Catholic Church and practice until
death all virtues. Amen. Our Father. . . Hail
Mary. . . Glory be
Intention for the Second Day
Hope
Almighty God, You Who are glorified in Yoursaints, grant me the gift of hope as evident in
the life of St. Therese, that I may believe firmly
in Your words: “Whatever you ask in My Name
shall be given to you.” As St. Therese turned
away from vanities of this world and
consecrated herself to You with complete
confidence, may I also turn from those vanities
and seek You alone, my love and my all. Amen.
Our Father. . . Hail Mary. . . Glory be
Intention for the Third Day
Love
My Jesus, grant that I may love You as much
as St. Therese, your little flower and say with
her: “ My Jesus, I beg You only for Your love,
without limit and without bounds. Grant my
Jesus, that I may love You as You have never
been loved.” And you, Saint Therese, help me to
be ever grateful to Him Who loves me so much.Amen. Our Father. . . Hail Mary. . . Glory be
Intention for the Fourth Day
Submission
My Lord and my God, You always will what is
best for me. As your Little Flower consecrated
herself to You to endure all sufferings and pain,
may I accept with perfect resignation and evencheerfulness all the hardships that come to me

in life, that I may be able to say, as did Your
beloved spouse: “Jesus, I offer my hardships to
You in the Name of Your love.” Amen. Our
Father. . . Hail Mary. . . Glory be
Intention for the Fifth Day
Patience
My Lord, Innocence itself, You endured in all
forms of shameful treatment for love to me.
Give me the humility, self-denial and patience
to imitate Your spouse, St. Therese of the Child
Jesus, and say with all my heart: My despised
Jesus, grant me, by the merits of Your humility
and patience, to bear with a calm spirit all the
sufferings of this life and then to enjoy Your
company with Your spouse, the Little Flower.
Amen. Our Father. . . Hail Mary. . . Glory be
Intention for the Sixth Day
Simplicity
My sweet Jesus, give me the charity and
simplicity of St. Therese. She said her mission in
Heaven would be to make others love God as
she loved Him, and to teach others to seek and
find God in the ‘little’ things in life. Grant that Imay not rest until I love God with all my
strength and with childlike simplicity of the
Little Flower. Amen. Our Father. . . Hail Mary. . .
Glory be
Intention for the Seventh Day
Humility
My Jesus, give me the grace to virtue in little
things. It is sometimes difficult, but I trust in
Your goodness, and Your love for humble
persons. I am too weak to climb the ladder of perfection alone, but I know that I shall obtain
from You the help I hope for. I join the Little
Flower in asking You for this blessing. Amen.
Our Father. . . Hail Mary. . . Glory be
Intention for the Eighth Day
Doing For Others
My God and My Love, give me on earth the
same mission You gave Your Little Flower in
Heaven, of spending my life doing good to my
neighbor. My Jesus, help me to console all men
and encourage them to love You. May all love
You as Your Immaculate Mother, Your foster
Father St. Joseph, Your Holy Angels, and St.
Therese love You. Allow me to pray with her:
“Let Your divine glance rest upon a vast number
of little souls, worthy of Your love.” Amen. Our
Father. . . Hail Mary. . . Glory be
Intention for the Ninth Day
Happy Death
My dear Lord, grant me the samechildlike
love for You fosterfather and Your holy
Immaculate Mother as St. Therese, ask my great
protector and father, St. Joseph, and my holy
Mother, Mary, to obtain for me the grace of
dying in the friendship of Jesus and expressing
your own words: “My God, I love You.” Amen.
Our Father. . . Hail Mary. . . Glory be
“ May your dreams and wishes come true :
