St. Therese said that each HAIL MARY goes up toward Heaven like incense whose smoking spirals are all alike, although it is always new incense that burns. Love always says the same thing, yet never repeats itself.
From “I Believe in Love,” Father Jean C.J. d’Elbee
Everything’s is God’s Gift:
Louis and Zelie Martin, parents of St. Therese, will be canonized this October, coinciding with the Synod on the Family, which will take place at that time in the Vatican.
Our Lord gave Sister Mary a short but powerful prayer called’ ‘The Golden Arrow,” by which a person can “shoot directly into the Heart of God” to heal the wounds inflicted on it by the malice of sinners. Of the 9 promises connected with this devotion, the first three are:
1) “By My Holy Face you will work miracles;”
2) “By My Face you will obtain the conversion of many sinners;”
3) “Nothing you ask in making this offering will be refused to you.”
This devotion brought St. Therese to her great sanctity. Anyone who is searching for a spiritual method for fighting atheism, socialism, materialism and paganism and its programs and/or who is searching for a virtually infallible method of prayer will be delighted with The Golden Arrow devotions.

St. Therese long wanted to be a missionary in Vietnam, having been inspired by St. Theophane Venard. However, due to her fragile health, she was unable to go.
St. Therese, pray for us. May we embrace your little way always. Amen.
