Day 9 – Novena to Saint Therese of Lisieux in Time of Pandemic

Saint Therese, who didn’t want to be a “saint by halves,” tells us to not put off holiness until tomorrow.  Let everything we do today be touched by holiness.  

Saint Therese suffered from tuberculosis and so should be declared the protecting saint, the guiding saint, the patron saint of the world in this time of pandemic.  A novena is a prayer across nine days and in this novena we ask Therese to continue to “spend her heaven doing good on earth.”
