Please pray to St. Therese. I was full of hopelessness and despair with my career situation. I thought I lost everything. I thought I lost all of my years of hard work. I decided to buy some yellow flowers for St. Therese and each day I said the special prayer to her. I am living proof that even the impossible could happen. I am so ever grateful. God bless you all. Have patience. Everything will work out even in the most desperate situations. On the ninth day my prayer was answered but along the way from the first day I saw signs from her. St. Therese does this by presenting flowers to you at unexpected places and times. Lissette
Novena to St. Therese "Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit, I thank Thee for all the blessings and favors Thou has showered upon the soul of Thy servant Therese of the Child Jesus, during the 24 years she spent here on earth, and in consideration of the merits of this, Thy most beloved Saint, I beseech Thee to grant me this favor, if it is in accordance with Thy most Holy Will and is not an obstacle to my salvation." After this prayer, follow with the 24 Glory Be's, between each of which should be included in this short prayer: "Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, pray for us."
This is a prayer I found last year. It's not necessarily a novena. I hope it brings peace to those who read it. Slowing Down..... Slow my pace, Lord. Slow my life. Come sit by me at the well. I am exhausted. Give rest to my heart; bring calm to my feelings. Come, lead me to the mountain. I am empty. Give me these hours the leisure to be still that I savor the quiet of rolling hills, tasting the presence of the Divine. Bring me from the running of the day and the doing of the duties to the sitting in the evening to know the reward of being. Set aside the problems of mind; soothe the aches of the heart; give rest to the body that I hear the music of my being and know a quiet that allows the soaring of the soul. Be gentle, Teacher, teaching the truth of being. In gentleness, command & "silence"! In stillness embrace my spirit and re-kindle with love....and opening the embrace give freedom to the soul. Slow my pace, spirit of love, breathe into my being, Word......and with a mighty wind blow the incarnate word to the ends of the earth. I hope this brings peace to others as it has to me. Enjoy.....CG

A Prayer to Padre Pio Beloved Padre Pio, today I come to add my prayer to the thousands of prayers offered to you every day by those who love and venerate you. They ask for cures and healings, earthly and spiritual blessings, and peace for body and mind. And because of your friendship with the Lord, he heals those you ask to be healed, and forgives those you forgive. Through your visible wounds of the Cross, which you bore for 50 years, you were chosen in our time to glorify the crucified Jesus. Because the Cross has been replaced by other symbols, please help us to bring it back in our midst, for we acknowledge it is the only true sign of salvation. As we lovingly recall the wounds that pierced your hands, feet and side, we not only remember the blood you shed in pain, but your smile, and the invisible halo of sweet smelling flowers that surrounded your presence, the perfume of sanctity. Padre Pio, may the healings of the sick become the testimony that the Lord has invited you to join the holy company of Saints. In your kindness, please help me with my own special request: (mention here your petition, and make the sign of the Cross). Bless me and my loved ones. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Thank you for the help you have sent me this far with my disability . please hep me from this time on.
Thank you TM, for responding to my cries. It is just that I missed my love and was hoping he'd return. I wonder, if someone asks a favour for example to be reunited with and ex partner does that mean you and that person is not meant to be? if the relationship is not meant to be do you normally get another reply? how do you interpret the not being replied. should one continue to pray? is there a way to pray? as per the 3 day novenas, how many times per day do you recite them? Thanks in advance for your responses. --mm
Remember two things: 1) God delay in answering your prayers does NOT mean Gods denial. 2) If you worry pray - if you pray don't worry. We get scared when things don't happen right away. Don't be frightened. Go let me find your note so that I could answer you. Just pray. All will be fine. TM
