My mother had cancer, and I prayed to St. Therese for weeks for her intercession. Mother traveled a long distance to visit me, and arrived at my door with her arms full of red roses. A mother does not usually give flowers to a son, and I knew these roses were St. Therese saying Mother would be all right. She was, and we had many more years together.

Dear Bishop Barron, I was browsing through Netflix and turned on "Blonde" and then another KDrama, but neither could hold my attention. When I came here to YT, I saw this - and just finished it as I write. Thank you for this beautiful telling of St. Therese's story... indeed THESE videos feed the soul... the better use of time.

I recommend boycotting Netflix because of their support of various evil things.

When I converted from prot​es​tantism and joined the Church on 04.20.2019, I took as my confirmation name Thérèse. I struggle with my relationship with God the Father & Jesus due to past trauma. May St. Thérèse please continue to pray for me to know God the Father and Jesus with childlike love and trust. Edit: I was sexually molested as a little girl from ages 8-13. I am in trauma therapy.

Revisit the obstacles that caused you trauma then ask God, while revisiting each one, "How do I heal in the pain of this memory"? God is in the memory, once you learn where He was within it, you will feel closer to Him.

She died 125 years ago. From today. Now I am 25. Almost, one (1) century after her farewell, I came. 🌹

St. Therese took her life back after she saw the statue of Our Blessed Mother Mary, said Bishop Barron. I have a lot to say, but I'll just say that your comment was my sort of comment, and thankyou for it.

I'm falling in love with St..There's more each day because she answers my prayers, as simple as that. For the longest time, I did not know who exactly was coming to my rescue because I was praying to more than one Saint. I recently got my answer and there is no doubt in my mind that it's St. Therse. 🙏🙏🍀🇮🇪

Dear Little flower, St. Therese I humbly ask for your intercession to Almighty God for my daughter, Eliana. She has had such a tough early life with significant behavior issues due to RAD, and abstinent defiance disorder. Praying humbly the God might Gio, heal her, so she might have a more enjoyable life. Praying for a miracle🙏🙏🙏 Prayers also for my son Alec. Prayers also that my family that they may be open to her return when the time is right. Humbly Lord according to your Holy Will. 🙏🙏🙏

God always answer prayers. What you need to understand is that although He answer prayers, it may be different than what you ask for or what you think. It’s just that God knows what is needed. And He doesn’t necessarily have a timeline, you ask, He answers. This is where trusting in God’s Divine Providence comes into play. He loves us so very much. He has a plan for all of us.

@@shinsekai7905 🤔….you suggest that “the saints. many people pray to the saints and ended not getting it answer” ⬅️this sounds a lot like your opinion. Consider when Jesus said “knock and the door will be open to you” Our prayer and the pray of the saints prayer work in the same way, effectively knocking on the door. When we knock we always get an answer, and it isn’t always the answer that we want, but it is the answer that God knows is best. Ultimately as in the example of the Virgin Mary when the Angel came to Mary about the Christ child Jesus, we should always want his will over our own. Our prayer always should start with God’s will in mind. God always answers our prayers. His answer takes into account ‘needs’ over ‘wants’. When we ask for the intercessory prayer of the saints (asking them to pray for our intentions) it should always be with God’s Will in mind. God knows what is best in accordance with his Holy Will.

My friend loved roses. At her burial, the ladies were invited to take a rose from the bouquet. I so wanted one, but I am a man. St. Therese helped me get through my friend's pancreatic cancer and I hope offered my friend some consolation while dying. I said, St. Therese, I will go to the florist and buy a rose to show my love for you, and also in honor of my friendship with my friend. An hour later, at the funeral dinner, another friend walked up to me, gave me her rose, and said I think our friend would have wanted you to have a rose, too. Take this. St. Therese pulls through again ! Praise be Jesus Christ !

Bless you, St. Therese... Jesus' little friend 😘

Thank you, Ste. Therese, I have received your rose.

The little flower analogy struck my heart like a spear, dang. I gotta read Story of a Soul 📚

In 1977, I was as an NYPD Sgt. in civilian clothes walking around the streets of NYC. I was planning to do something that was definitely not good for me. But somehow I inadvertently walked into a Christian bookstore that I was most definitely not looking for that day. Disappointed at the venue, I nevertheless decided to stay & browse at the books for sale on the shelves. Suddenly, I was standing face to face with a black & white photo of a young beautiful nun - that appears in this video clip. I felt an immediate romantic attraction to her as though I spotted her across the gymnasium when I was a senior at one of my Catholic High School dances. Her gaze was magnetic. I so desired to know her more intimately. Then a pang of guilt struck me that this was a nun & I shouldn’t be feeling this way. So I turned away & kept browsing up & down other aisles. Sure enough there she was staring at me from the same book placed atop another row of shelves. I picked it up & saw the title was “ A Biography of St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower.” I remembered my mother talking about her when I was young. So I was purchased the book. After reading it I felt I was falling in love with this iron-willed Carmelite sister who would have been a contemporary of my grandmother. Impossible, I thought. But I think she was pursuing me. Next, I devoured her autobiography, Story of a Soul. That did it. I became hooked on Therese. I read everything I could find about her & even began a pen pal relationship with a group of Discalced Carmelites formerly in a Louisville, Ky. Convent. I was privileged to take a six month course on Theresian spirituality being given in St. Patrick’s Cathedral during her centenary in 1997. And I - as well as my classmates - were invited to go to the airport very early one October morning to meet her reliquary when she landed at JFK. She was to begin her tour of New York churches and many others in the U.S. That was a most sacred day in my life with Therese. I got to hug her. Here’s how it happened. My long love affair paid off many times but none as powerful as on that October morning at JFK. After attending Catholic liturgical services in a hangar my classmates and I were asked to form line along the tarmac leading to a mini-van that would take her plexiglass encased reliquary on its tour of New York City churches and elsewhere in the U.S. As I took my place in the line, It happened that my place was at the side door of the mini-van just a few feet back from a uniformed Port Authority Police Officer who was guarding that part of the van.I told him I was a retired NYPD member and added that if he prayed to Therese, his life would never be the same again. He replied, “ What do’ya have a thing for her?” I answered saying , ” I’m nuts about her. She had altered my life. ” Next thing I know her reliquary was loaded into the mini-van from the rear and when it was loaded all the way inside by the pall bearers, the P.A. Officer slid open the side door and said to me, “ Then get in there and tell her.” I climbed in on my knees, wrapped my arms around the plexiglass case holding the small casket or sarcophagus of her relics, and did just that - in tears of gratitude. I will never forget that as long as I live. In closing, my yLouisville Carmelite pen pals once sent me a colorized post card of my Therese and wrote on the back: “ Our Little Sister St. Therese dearly loves her James and has captured his heart. She will draw him closer and closer to her Beloved, Jesus ! “ She did exactly that. James Devine, NYPD Lieutenant ( ret. 1985). ❤

I've read the autobiography of Saint Therese story of a soul, since saint therese suffered tremendously from dark thoughts, that destroy the soul. It takes so much strength and it is so challenging, a living hell to have these intrusive thoughts. What a battle she fought. I could completely relate as someone that has suffered from severe anxiety and clinical depression I didn't find it too sentimental as you said. I found it moving. Happy and blessed feast day. GRANDE THÉRÈSE ❤️🌹

Robert Barron tells this so well.

Very good video. If Bishop Barron hadn't become a priest, he could have had a career as a television presenter. He's a natural.

What an incredible treasure of the Holy Catholic Church!!!!' St. Therese pray for me!!!!

Flee this anti-church. God invites us into the throne room to ask for, help, grace, and mercy in times of need. There is no need for saints. Hebrews 4:14-16 ESV - Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

THANK YOU bishop My favorite saintI love her deeply

I was drawn to St. Therese when I visited a chapel by chance. I was praying to pass an exam and my faith was not that deep. Come to think of it, it was shallow. But glory to God, I passed and my anxieties were lifted during the exam. But that was just the beginning. Little did I know that that was St. Therese's way of bringing me closer to Jesus. There's really something about her that had drawn me to God closely and it's all thanks to her! I wanted to know more about her and then this popped up! What a sign and what a blessing!

Through God's graces, was able to visit St Therese in Lisieux!

Blessings to you and to the whole world!

I went to school in the 1950s and 60s and so many of my classmates loved Therese but for some reason I could never feel close to her. Then I read The Story of a Life by Father Guy Gaucher and the light went on. St. Therese suffered many temptations and her life wasn't that easy, but her way of doing even the smallest things with great love is one that anyone can follow.

Excellent Bishop Barron. Thankyou for your witness.

She is the little flower. Every time I walk or run , here in Swiss, I collect a bunch of little flowers in the road and put in my littles cups in my home, and pray for her love.

St. Therese, the Little Flower, please pick for me a 🌹 Rose from the heavenly garden of our Divine Savior, and send it to me as a message of love. Since you promised to spend your heaven doing good on Earth, please look favorably upon my petitions. Speedily recommend them to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and beg Him to Grant my requests. {Here mention your requests} if this favor is granted to me, I will seek to imitate you more and more, and to be ever more loving and charitable, especially toward God's little and least ones. St. Therese, pray for me and for all my loved ones. Amen.
