Oil of St. Therese

The Carmelite saint most identified with roses is the Little Flower, St. Therese of Child Jesus, who often employed the imagery of nature in describing her relation to the Lord. Her last known photograph depicts her sitting in a wheelchair before the clister garden where she was assigned to care for as a novice, but now weakened by the advanced stage of tuberculosis at a tender age of 24, she utters a silent prayer as she slowly peels away at a rose allowing each petal to touch the crucifix which now lays on her lap.

It was on her deathbed where she uttered the most memorable analogous phrase with reference to the rose; she "would spend her heaven doing good upon earth...by letting fall from heaven a shower of roses."

From this legacy evolved a short but powerful aspiration, "St. Therese, the Little Flower, please pick a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me wiht a message of love. Ask God to grant me the favor I thee implore {state intention here}, and tell him I love him each day more and more." Tradition holds that if you say this short novena prayer, followed by five Our Fathers, five Hail Mary's and five Glory Be's each day for five days, you will receive a host of roses on the fifth day.

Respect Life

We would like to welcome you to the Respect Life Ministry at St. Jude Catholic Church. We are a group of people of all different ages, backgrounds and professions and talents who share the common goal of promoting the culture of life set forth by the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

We are committed to working together as part of the Body of Christ to oppose those aspects of society that legally permit one to take the life of another whether it is through abortion, capital punishment or euthanasia. We strive to serve as a light to the rest of the community through prayer and education.

We also offer help to women in crisis pregnancies and healing to women who have been hurt through abortion with a counseling program called Project Rachel. Project Rachel teaches women that through God's mercy they can be restored and receive forgiveness.

We also provide instruction for Natual Family Planning, a safe and natural way to plan children that has no harmful side effects; and, more importantly, cooperates with God's plan for procreation.

Please feel free to call with any questions regarding the ministry. We invite you to join us as we need the special talents you have to offer!
