Power of Prayer
St. Thérèse of Lisieux often wondered about power of prayer:
How great is the power of prayer?
She wrote:
“To be heard it is not necessary to read from a
book, some beautiful formula composed for
the occasion. There are so many of them it
really gives me a headache and each prayer is
more beautiful than the others. For me,
prayer is an aspiration of the heart. It is a simple glance
directed to heaven, a cry of gratitude and love in the midst
of trial as well as joy.”
St. Thérèse said: “What do I say to Jesus? I don’t say any-
thing. I love Him.”

Welcome To Little Flower
Roman Catholic Church
Little Flower parish was established in 1930, and today serves almost 500 families from our beautiful church near Regina's core.
Our mission: Little Flower, as a faith community, reaches out to all in service, compassion and love to fulfill our mission of proclaiming the gospel daily in word and deed.
Our Patron, St. Thérèse
I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses.
Thérèse Martin entered a Carmelite convent at age fifteen. As Sister Thérèse of the Child Jesus, she lived a hidden life. She was just 24 when she died of TB. The world came to know her through her autobiography, The Story of a Soul.
She described her life as “a little way of spiritual childhood.” She lived each day with unshakable confidence in God’s love. What matters in life is “not great deeds, but great love.”
“My mission — to make God loved — will begin after my death,” she said. “I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses.”
This is the reason St.Thérèse’s emblem is a crucifix covered with a profusion of roses. The celebration of her Feast Day is October 1.
Our Stained Glass Windows
The windows in Little Flower church were designed and manufactured by Rault Freres, of Rennes, France, and installed by Burns Hanley Co. Ltd. of Regina.
Welcome, guests! Please note, wheelchair access is via the Edgar Street entrance.
Receive the sacrament of RECONCILIATION after weekday masses.
Low-gluten hosts are available when you receive the Holy Eucharist from Fr. Jake.
DONATE
Little Flower Operating Fund
Little Flower's infrastructure is aging, and it is costing a great deal to maintain and upgrade our facilities.
There is also ongoing need to maintain our operating fund, even in these uncertain times, if we're going to keep the lights and heat on in our church.
Please prayerfully consider what you can afford, and make your tax-deductible donation today. You can use the Archdiocese donation site and specify Little Flower Parish on the form. Click here to access the donation page.
Thank you, and God bless.

PRAYERS FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD
Loving Father,
We bring to you the suffering of our world today.
Look kindly upon every person living in fear, suffering persecution, or facing death.
Help us to remember that you are the Father of all of your children on earth.
Fill each heart with an unwavering trust in your Fatherly love.
Forgive us when we have not cared for our earth, the home you have given.
Forgive us when we chose the path of selfishness rather than the path of Love.
Forgive us when we forgot to live as brothers and sisters on this earth, the way you have shown in fellowship with your disciples.
Look upon us with your compassion, the way you looked upon the world from the cross.
Remember not the evil we have done, but see the depth of our repentance.
Give peace to the world, help us to live anew.
Send your Spirit to guide each our step, to build rather than to destroy, to love rather than to hate, to live rather than to die.
In Jesus’ name, through the victory of his resurrection, we pray.
Amen.

Spiritual Act of Communion
For times of isolation
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
