words of a saint

"So that is all that Jesus wants from us, he does not need our accomplishments, only our love. He thirsts for Love."

- Saint Therese

October 1st is the feast day for Saint Therese

Visit Catholic by Grace to read the Novena prayer in her honor.

Novena to St. Therese

I have a soft spot for St. Therese. I stopped by CatholicByGrace today. She has listed a Novena prayer to St. Therese. Please take time out of your day and pray with us.

Prayer is a gift from God.

"Yes, all is well when we seek only the will of Jesus."

- St. Therese of Lisieux

Pentecost Novena

I am looking up information on Novena's. A group I am a part of is doing a Novena in honor of Pentecost. Pentecost Sunday is May 31st. Nine days from today. (Novena means nine) I am inviting you to join us. Once a day for nine days you recite the Prayer to the Holy Spirit. It honors the nine days the apostles spent in prayer, between the Ascension and Pentecost. It honors what would be the very first novena.

I am sorry I am getting this out so late. Just starting mine and realized others may want to do this too. Even if you don't start on Saturday to end on Pentecost, it doesn't mean you are left out. Start on the day you choose. The Lord will hear you.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit:

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in us the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and we shall be created, and You will renew the face of the earth. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit instructs the hearts of the faithful, grant that by that same Spirit we may be ever wise and rejoice in his consolations. We make our prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen
