Novena
to St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus
Fourth Day
Dearest St. Thérèse of the
Child Jesus, you said that you would spend your time in heaven doing good on
earth.
Your trust in God was
complete. Pray that He may increase my trust in His goodness and mercy as I ask
for the following petitions…
(Mention your intentions)
Pray for me that I, like
you, may have great and innocent confidence in the loving promises of our God.
Pray that I may live my life in union with God’s plan for me, and one day see
the Face of God whom you loved so deeply.
St. Thérèse, you were
faithful to God up until the moment of your death. Pray for me that I may be
faithful to our loving God. May my life bring peace and love to the world
through faithful endurance of love for God our savior. Amen.
Loving God, You taught St. Thérèse how to find You through the “little
way” of humility and simplicity. Grant that I may never miss the grace hidden
in humble service to others.
Dear Little Flower of Carmel, bearing so patiently the disappointments
and delays allowed by God, and preserving in the depths of your soul an
unchanging peace because you sought only God’s will, obtain for me a complete
conformity to that adorable Will in all the trials and disappointments of life.
If the favors I am asking during this Novena are pleasing to God, obtain
them for me. If not, it is true I shall feel the refusal keenly, but I wish
only God’s Will as you did. I pray that Jesus will be the perfect fulfillment
of all my wishes as He was for you.
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, 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, 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.
