Saint Therese described her spirituality as a ‘way of spiritual childhood’ – all trust, confidence and love; so let us ask for ‘childhood’ in this sense in our lives today.
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.”
