Novena to St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus
Seventh 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, St. Thérèse offered to You her weakness. Help me to see in
my weakness an opportunity to rely completely on you.
O little martyr of Love, you know now even better than in the days of
your pilgrimage that Love embraces all vocations; that it is Love alone which
counts, which unites us perfectly to God and conforms our will with His. All
you sought on earth was love; to love Jesus as He had never yet been loved.
Use your power in heaven to make us love Him. If only we love Him we
shall desire to make Him loved by others; we shall pray much for souls. We
shall no longer fear death, for it will unite us to Him forever.
Obtain for us the grace to do all for the love of God, to give Him
pleasure, to love Him so well that He may be pleased with us as He was with
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.
