Crafting this oil I have used my (first-class relic) of St. Therese of Lisieux it was submerged into my base oil. Prayers of intercession and healing are recited while the relic is being immersed. It is not the oil itself that cures, but the Lord who hears the prayers of the faithful.
St. Therese of Lisieux, named by the Church as “the greatest saint of modern times” and declared a “Doctor of the Church” by Pope John Paul II in 1997, to bring miracles into our lives!
As one of the most popular and most venerated Catholic saints, St. Therese teaches us of the simplicity and joy there is to be found in prayer and faith. She often responds to her devotees with roses or rose petals to show her miracles.
This service is to petition her for a miracle. All-encompassing, it is meant to appeal to the miracle you need at this given time, whether it be love, spiritual growth, protection from harm by enemies through black magic, restored faith, to combat a health scare, or more. This is a group service in which you will have one candle dressed, blessed, and lit in honor of your request to St. Therese of Lisieux.
A Little More on St. Therese
Countless people have been touched by her intercession and imitate her “little way” of sanctity. Roses have been described as her signature for answered prayers – her mission after death, she would say, would be to make God loved -“I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses.”
Shortly after her death, the rain of roses began. Sometimes roses literally appeared, and sometimes just the fragrance of them. Cures of painful and fatal diseases and many other miraculous experiences were attributed to her intercession. Sometimes people found inner peace and regained an inner warmth of spirit and confidence, by appealing to St. Therese. Many miracles and actions of St. Therese do not involve roses. More often than not, marvelous things happen in people's lives as they ask for her heavenly intercession. The miracles, healings, and inner peace come from the trust one places in God, not from any manifestation of roses.
St. Therese lived in the dark night of the senses and spirit, with little consolation. Thus, the friends and followers of St. Therese expect no consolation of sighted roses that their prayers are being answered. Her "little way" is about child-like trust and gentle love. She is the great apostle of faith in God's love, not simple reliance on physical signs. Jesus warned us, and Therese experienced that the desire for signs is a sign of weak faith. It is always important to remember that St. Therese did not experience extraordinary phenomena in her life. Her faith was refined and strengthened by God.
Roses are Therese's signature. It is her way of whispering to those who need a sign that she has heard, and God is responding. Thousands of people have given witness to the way Therese responds to their petitions and prayers with grace and roses. Grace is more important than the roses. So many miracles have happened through the intercession of St. Therese without any roses appearing - usually the deep inner peace of accepting God's will and seeing His loving plan and presence is the "rose" experienced. Sometimes the lack of a physical "rose signature" is an affirmation of strong faith.
One does not pray for roses. Therese's message is about simplicity and love in the ordinary events of life. Trust in Therese is important, and when she wills, roses or their fragrance may appear. The stories are remarkable how roses have shown up in the lives and experiences of people, especially in the darkest times. The ordinary and constant way these roses and graces have shown up in people's experience is extraordinary. It is important to always maintain the rose of confidence that our All-Loving God hears and responds to our needs, according to the mysterious ways of His Love.
O Glorious St. Therese, whom Almighty God has raised up to aid and inspire the human family, I implore your Miraculous Intercession.
