We start with an introductory daily prayer :
O St. Therese of the Child Jesus,
who during your short life on earth
became a mirror of angelic purity,
of love strong as death,
and of wholehearted abandonment to God,
now that you rejoice in the reward of your virtues,
cast a glance of pity on me
as I leave all things in your hands.
Make my troubles your own,
speak a word for me to Our Lady Immaculate,
whose flower of special love you were
to that Queen of Heaven
"who smiled on you at the dawn of life."
Beg her powerful intercession
the grace I yearn for so ardently at this moment...
(our prayer intention here....)
and that she join with it a blessing
that may strengthen me during life,
defend me at the hour of death,
and lead me straight on to a happy eternity.Amen.
O God, who did inflame with the Spirit of Love,
the soul of your servant Therese of the Child Jesus,
grant that we also may love you
and make you much loved.Amen.
Day Two
Almighty God,
giver of all good gifts,
who did will that Blessed Therese,
being watered by the heavenly dew of Your guiding Grace,
should bloom in Carmel with the beauty of virginity
and patience in suffering,
grant that I Your servant
may go forward in the order of her sweetness
and may be found worthy to become a devoted
and loyal follower of Christ.
( our prayer intention here....)
But if what I ask of you so earnestly
does not tend to the glory of God
and the greater good of my soul,
do you, I pray, obtain for me
that which is more profitable to both these ends. Amen.
St. Therese of the Child Jesus,
pray for us.
