(Ever heard the Catholic prayer, “Little Flower, in this hour, show your power”? St. Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897) is one of the greatest saints of modern times. Her feast day is October 1.)
St. Therese is quite the saint
You may deem her statues quaint
But all her great post-mortem doings

Are they “quaint”?

No! They sure ain’t

She has strengthened many folks
Soldiers, children, normal blokes
She’s known for sending roses from above
She will send one if you coax

Simply ask her for her prayers
She’ll pray! then Grace will help though you are unawares
Soon you’ll see a sign or two
That for you she loves and cares

“Little Flower, in this hour, show God’s power”
A quote from her: “Do you realize that Jesus is there in the tabernacle expressly for you- for you alone? He burns with the desire to come into your heart… don’t listen to the demon, laugh at him, and go without fear to receive the Jesus of peace and love…”
