This novena to Saint Th r se of Lisieux offers nine days of prayer and reflection for those seeking simplicity of heart, childlike trust, and the courage to love in hidden, ordinary ways. Known as the "Little Flower," Th r se discovered her unique path to holiness in what she called her "Little Way"-doing small things with great love and surrendering completely to God's mercy. Born into a deeply faithful family in France, Th r se entered the Carmelite convent at Lisieux at the young age of fifteen. There, she lived a hidden life of humility, prayer, and sacrifice, transforming daily chores, trials, and even great suffering into offerings of love. Though she never traveled as a missionary, her heart embraced the whole world through prayer, and she is now honored as patroness of missions, priests, and all who seek to serve God in the ordinary. Her autobiography, Story of a Soul, continues to inspire millions with its simple yet profound wisdom: holiness is not achieved by extraordinary deeds, but by extraordinary love. Her promise to "let fall a shower of roses" after her death has been fulfilled in countless graces granted through her intercession. Through daily Scripture, reflections, and prayers, this novena invites us to walk the Little Way with Th r se-to embrace humility, to trust in God's merciful love, and to find sanctity in the smallest details of life. May Saint Th r se of Lisieux, the Little Flower and Doctor of the Church, intercede for all who long for simplicity, trust, and unfailing love, so that we too may bloom where God has planted us and become signs of His mercy to the world.
