QF:
I can tell you I have experienced several intercessions first hand from Saint Therese aka little flower, child of Jesus. I believe in this type of aid with all my heart. I'm only familar with St. Therese (not to be confused with Saint Teresa of Calcutta, not the same person).
She vowed to spend her afterlife helping humanity. The special prayer I say comes from a website the Carmelite Nuns have set up devoted to her. On this site you will find countless examples of intercessions. She shows you a sign of your prayer being heard/answered with roses. When you get a rose out of the blue after praying to her, it is the best feeling!
Here is a prayer of petition:
St. Therese, beloved friend, you promised to spend your heaven doing good upon earth. We come before you in our need. We believe that you listen to us and approach God for and with us. You are love in the heart of the Church. You are love in the heart of God. Please accept these petitions, hopes, needs, and dreams I list below. Please present them to our Loving Father so that God may do what is best for us, for our loved ones, and for the fulfillment of God's Kingdom. Continue your shower of roses in our lives. We ask you, dear friend, with the bold confidence and loving surrender you taught us. We make this prayerful petition in the name of Jesus and through the power of His Spirit.
I believe it is important to understand that when you pray, you are asking for her to petition God on your behalf; one must always respect the will of God.
Here is a link to the site mentioned above, specifically, the accounts of intercessions:
