[quote name='Sixtina87' post='1284419' date='May 30 2007, 03:23 PM']It took me about 5 websites to find it and here it is...I didn't realize there were more than one novena to St. Therese!!! One thing about this novena...its a 5 day Novena....on the 5th day say an extra 5 of each of the prayers. Just follow the directions at the bottom of this....if you have any questions please let me know!
Novena to Saint Therese of the Little Flower
Saint Therese, the Little
Flower, please pick me
a rose from the heavenly
garden and send it to
me with a message of love.
Ask God to grant me the
favor I thee implore and
tell Him I will love
Him each day more and more.

The above prayer, plus 5 Our Father's, 5 Hail Mary's and 5 Glory Be's must be said on 5 successive days, before 11 a.m. On the 5th day, the 5th set of prayers having been completed, offer one more set - 5 Our Father's, 5 Hail Mary's and 5 Glory Be's.)[/quote]

I think the colors are refering to the message you are asking St. Therese to send... many people have had their prayers answered in the form of flowers. I thik Sixtina is saying that you may say that you wish to have a white flower denote marriage and a pink one religious life. Does that make sense? Personally, I think it better to let the message come in whatever way it comes...

for me I asked Therese to tell me what my vocation is in life...White rose for Religious Life, Yellow rose for Single Life and Pink rose for Marriage.....however for me, I received all the colors on the feast Of St. Joseph! So therefore I wasn't suppose to know yet.

The color of flower you ask for, you will receive!

Chelsea, St Therese herself rarely if ever asked for signs of this sort, believing that it was better simply to trust Jesus to carry her where she needed to go. By asking for such a fixed sign you are trying to regiment your life to such an extent that the Holy Spirit has practically no room to breathe. Trust in God's providence, not in signs like these. Know that He will take care of you, abandon yourself to Him, and just let it go.
