Visit to St. Therese of Lisieux relics
I have been planning to visit St. Therese relics ever since I’ve heard that they’re in the Philippines last February. It was only last Wednesday where we got to visit it at the St. Therese Shrine and Columbarium at Villamor Air Base. Last day was Friday and the relics would be on their way to their next destination.
Anyway, I got this prayer pamphlet which they gave out and I would like to share the prayer to you, hoping you would also get your wish to come true. Because mine did!
Here’s the prayer:
O glorious St Therese, whom Almighty God has raised up to aid and counsel mankind, I implore your Miraculous Intercession. So powerful are you in obtaining every need of body and soul our Holy Mother Church proclaims you a “Prodigy of Miracles..the Greatest saint of Modern Times.” Now, I fervently beseech you to answer my petition (mention here) and to carry out your promises of spending Heaven doing good on Earth…of letting fall from Heaven a shower of roses. Henceforth, dear little Flower, I will fulfill your plea “to be made known everywhere” and I will never cease to lead others to Jesus through you.
Amen.
St. Therese is the Catholic Church’s Patroness of Missionaries and the Missions, Protector of AIDS and Tuberculosis Patients, Guardian of those who follow her “Little Way.”

You’re lucky to have visited it. My sister, who’s named after the saint really wanted to visit after a delivery to PAL, but they got lost.

We were lucky enough to see her in Tarlac when we attended a wedding last February.

St. Therese was one of our school’s patroness way back in HS. You are indeed lucky to visit her shrine and see her relics.

Thanks for sharing this! I’ve heard of many miraculous stories about St. Therese!
