THE LITTLE FLOWER ROSARY

It is commonly believed that St. Therese grants
the sign of a rose to those who practice this devotion
during a period of nine to twenty-four days, as a
proof that the petition is granted. The sign of a rose
or some other visible sign is not always evident but
many persons have received special graces by recit-
ing this chaplet.

To pray this Rosary, bless yourself and say on the
first bead:
St. Therese of the Infant Jesus, Patroness of
Missions, pray for us!

On each of the remaining twenty-four beads say
the Glory be to the Father in honor of the Blessed
Trinity, in thanksgiving for giving the world the
Little Saint who lived only twenty-four years.

Prayer to St. Therese
St. Therese, the Little Flower, please pick me
a rose from the heavently garden and sent 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.

(The prayer above, plus five Our Father, five
Hail Marys and five Glory be to the Fathers, must
be said on five successive days before 11 a.m. On
the fifth day, when the fifth set of prayer have been
completed, offer one more set - five Our Father,
five Hail Marys and five Glory be to the Father.)
