St. Therese loved nature, and often used the imagery of nature to explain how the Divine Presence is everywhere, and how everything is connected in God's loving care and arms. Therese saw herself as "the Little Flower of Jesus" because she was just like the simple wild flowers in forests and fields, unnoticed by the greater population, yet growing and giving glory to God. Therese did not see herself as a brilliant rose or an elegant lily, by simply as a small wild flower. This is how she understood herself before the Lord - simple and hidden, but blooming where God had planted her.

It's actually Saint Therese. She was French. That is the French spelling.
But Saint Theresa--the Americanized spelling--is also acceptable.
Not Teresa, though. That is totally wrong.

St. Therese of Lisieux, aka. The Little Flower, reported that she could proceed her artwork after she died and could permit fall from heaven "a tub of roses." you may locate, smell, or hear the be conscious/call "Rose", at any factor throughout or after the novena, which shows that she has heard your prayer and definitely is interceeding for you in the previous the throne of God. no count if or not your prayer would be replied "particular" will substitute into clean interior the activities and circumstances on your existence. despite the end result, God looks out to your perfect interest and provide you with what you desire, not unavoidably what you desire. God bless.
