SAINT THÉRÈSE
NOVENA
(EWTN)
U Come Holy Spirit fill the hearts of the faithful,
and kindle in them the fire of divine love.
Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created.
And You shall renew the face of the earth.
Let Us Pray:
O God, who have instructed the hearts of the faithful by
the light of the Holy Spirit;
grant that by the gift of the same Spirit,
we may be ever truly wise and rejoice in His consolation,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
O my God!
I believe in Thee:
Strengthen my faith. All my hopes are in Thee:
do Thou secure them. I love Thee:
teach me to love Thee daily more and more.
Amen.
O my God!
I am heartily sorry for having offended You,
and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of
heaven and the pains of hell,
but most of all because they offend You, my God,
who are all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace,
to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life.
Amen.
Prayer of St. Thérèse
O Lord, You have said:
Unless you
become as little children you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven;
grant us, we beg You, so to
follow, in humility and simplicity of heart,
the footsteps of the Virgin
blessed Thérèse,
that we may attain to an
everlasting reward.
Amen.
U Dear Little Flower,
make all things lead me to heaven and God,
whether I look at the sun, the moon, the stars and the vast
expanse in which they float,
or whether I look at the flowers of the field, the trees of
the forest,
the beauties of the earth so full of color and so glorious,
may they speak to me of the love and power of God;
may they all sing His praises in my ear.
Like you may I daily love Him more and more in return for
His gifts.
Teach me often to deny myself in my dealings with others,
that I may offer to Jesus many little sacrifices.
|
U St Theresa the Little Flower of Jesus, pray
for us. |
|
U Intercede for us all the days of our life,
but
specially during this Novena
and
obtain for us from God the graces and favours
we ask through your intercession.
Amen.
