‘CONTEMPTUS OF THE WORLD’...
What shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole
world, and suffer the loss of his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange
for his soul?

Novena to St.
Teresa of Avila
Day 5
O most kind Lord Jesus Christ! We thank Thee for
the great gift of humility which Thou didst grant to Thy beloved Teresa; we
pray Thee, by Thy merits, and by those of Thy most humble spouse, to grant us
the grace of a true humility, which may make us ever find our joy in
humiliation, and prefer contempt
before every honor.
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy
Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us
this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those
who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of death.
Amen.
Glory be
Glory be, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the
Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen.
V. St.
Teresa, pray for us:
R. That we
may become worthy of the promises of Jesus Christ.
Let us pray
Graciously hear us, O God of our salvation! that as
we rejoice in the commemoration of the blessed virgin Teresa, so we may be
nourished by her heavenly doctrine, and draw from thence the fervour of a
tender devotion; through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and
reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Prayer of St.
Teresa of Avila
Let nothing
disturb you,
Let nothing
frighten you,
All things
are passing away:
God never
changes.
Patience
obtains all things
Whoever has
God lacks nothing;
God alone
suffices.
St. Teresa of Avila ora pro nobis!
