Saint Therese of Lisieux "The Little Flower" Rosary Chaplet

This Chaplet commemorates each of the 24 years of St. Therese's life on Earth.

Opening Prayer:

St Therese, the Little Flower, please pick me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it
to me with a message of love. Ask God to grant me the favor I thee implore and tell Him I will
love Him each day more and more.

On the first bead, say:

Saint Therese of the Infant Jesus, Patroness of Missions, pray for us.
On each of the other 24 beads, say one Glory Be: Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

A Prayer to Saint Therese:

O little St. Theresa of the Child Jesus, who during your short life on earth became a
mirror of angelic purity, of love strong as death, and of wholehearted abandonment to God, now
that you rejoice in the reward of your virtues, cast a glance of pity on me as I leave all things in
your hands. Make my troubles your own - speak a word for me to our Lady Immaculate, whose
flower of special love you were - to that Queen of heaven "who smiled on you at the dawn of
life." Beg her as the Queen of the heart of Jesus to obtain for me by her powerful intercession,
the grace I yearn for so ardently at this moment, and that she join with it a blessing that may
strengthen me during life. Defend me at the hour of death, and lead me straight on to a happy
eternity. Amen.
 MY NOVENA ROSE PRAYER

O little Therese of the Child Jesus, please pick for me

a rose from the Heavenly gardens and send it to me as
a message of love.

O little Flower of Jesus, ask God today to grant the favors

I now place with confidence in thy hands . . .
(Mention specific requests)

St. Therese, help me to always believe as thou didst, in

God's great love for me, so that I might imitate thy
"Little Way" each day. Amen.

Say for nine days.

  

THE LITTLE FLOWER CHAPLET

This chaplet consists of 24 beads commemorating the 24 years of St. Therese's life,
and 1 additional bead, on which the following short prayers is recited:

St. Therese of of the Infant Jesus, Patroness of Missions, pray for us.

On the other 24 beads is said the Glory be to the Father . . . etc. to honor the Holy
trinity in thanksgiving for having given us the Little Saint who lived in this world but
24 years.

The use of the of this chaplet is encouraged by the Carmelite Fathers. You may use
your regular Rosary beads by counting off 24 of the Hail Mary beads on the first 2
decades and 4 from the third decade, saying the Glory Be prayer.

Simply use the next bead [bead 5 of this third decade] as the one for reciting the short
prayer above.

I have often used regular Rosary beads for various chaplets.

 The 24 Glory be to the Father Novena to St. Therese

The “Glory be to the Father” praising the Holy Trinity is said twenty-four
times each of the nine days, in thanksgiving for all the blessings and favors given
to Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus during the twenty-four years of her life. In
addition, this, or a similar prayer may be used:

“Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, I
thank Thee for all the blessings and favors Thou hast showered upon the soul of
Thy servant Theresa of the Child Jesus, during the twenty-four 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 (state your petition), if it is in accordance with
Thy most Holy Will and is not an obstacle to my salvation.”

After this Prayer, follow the twenty-four “Glory Be’s,” between each of
which may be included this short prayer:
Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, pray for us.”
