Novena to St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus
Fifth 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.
Prayer
Loving God, You gave St. Thérèse the gift of
forgiving others even when she felt hurt and betrayed. Help me to be able to
forgive others who have wounded me, especially…
Little Flower of Jesus, from the very first moment
of your religious life you thought only of denying yourself in all things so as
to follow Jesus more perfectly; help me to bear patiently the trials of my
daily life.
Teach me to make use of the trials, the sufferings,
the humiliations, that come my way, to learn to know myself better and to love
God more.
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.
