Novena to Therese of Lisieux

I am starting a novena to St Therese today for the following intentions:
  • For my first born daughter whose patron saint is Therese.  I hope to have a celebration for her on October 1st (St Therese's day.)
  • For my dad who is suffering ill health and deep physical pain.  I pray that he will find the Lord in the midst of his trials and for his healing in every way.
  • For my husband that he will seek the Lord in a deeper way.
  • For my own call to holiness and for grace to learn better to die to myself.
Little Flower, please pray for me and offer my intentions before the Child Jesus.
