Novena
to St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus
DAY EIGHT
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 loved St. Thérèse with a powerful
love and made her a source of strength to those who had lost faith in You.
Help me to pray with confidence for those in my
life who do not believe they can be loved.
Dear St. Thérèse, like you I have to die one day. I beseech you, obtain from God, by reminding Him of your own precious death, that I may have a holy death, strengthened by the Sacraments of the Church, entirely resigned to the most holy Will of God, and burning with love for Him.
May my last words on earth be, "My God. I love
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.
