novena to
st theresa
of the child jesus
first, recite the 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...
(state your 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.
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.
next, recite the prayer of the appropriate day...
day one
o therese of the child jesus,
well beloved and full of charity,
in union with you,
i reverently adore the majesty of god,
and since i rejoice with exceeding joy
in the singular gifts of grace
bestowed upon you during your life,
and your gifts of glory after death,
i give him deepest thanks for them;
i beseech you with all my heart's devotion
to be pleased to obtain for me
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.
st. therese of the child jesus,
pray for us.
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.
day three
lily of purity,
ornament and glory of carmel,
i greet you, great saint,
seraph of divine love.
i rejoice in the favors
our lord so liberally bestowed on you.
in humility and confidence
i ask you to help me,
for i know god has given you love
and pity as well as power.
tell him, now, i beseech you,
of the favor i seek in this novena...
your request will crown my petition
with success and bring joy to my heart.
remember your promise to do good here on earth.
"i shall spend my heaven doing good on the earth.
after death i shall let fall a shower of roses."
day four
o little flower of jesus,
who at an early age had your heart set on carmel
and in your brief earthly life
did become the mirror of angelic purity,
of courageous love
and of whole hearted surrender to almighty god,
turn your eyes of mercy upon me who trusts in you.
obtain for me the favor i seek in this novena...
and the grace to keep my heart and mind pure and clean.
o dear saint, grant me to feel in every need
the power of your intercession;
help to comfort me in all the bitterness of this life
and especially at its end,
that i may be worth
to share eternal happiness with you in heaven.
day five
o little flower of carmel,
almighty god endowed you,
consumed by love for him,
with wondrous spiritual strength
to follow the way of perfection
during the days of your short life.
sickness touched you early
but you remained firm in faith
and prayer was your life.
o pray for me that i may benefit
by your intercession
and be granted the favor i ask in this novena...
day six
you have shown yourself so powerful in your intercession,
so tender and compassionate toward those
who honor you and invoke you
in suffering and distress,
that i kneel at your feet
with perfect confidence
and beseech you most humbly
and earnestly to take me under your protection
in my present necessity
and obtain for me the favor i ask in this novena...
vouchsafe to recommend my request to mary,
the merciful queen of heaven,
that she may plead my cause with you
before the throne of jesus, her divine son.
cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted.
day seven
therese of the child jesus,
most loving saint,
in union with you i adore the divine majesty.
my heart is filled with joy
at the remembrance of the marvelous favors
with which god blessed your life on earth
and of the great glory that came to you after death.
i praise god,
and offer him my humble tribute of thanksgiving.
i implore you to obtain for me,
through your powerful intercession,
the greatest of all blessings
that of living and dying in the state of grace.
i also beg of you to secure for me
the special favor i seek in this novena...
day eight
o glorious st. therese, who,
burning with the desire of increasing the glory of god,
invariably attended to the sanctification of your soul
by the constant practice of prayer and charity so that,
becoming in the church a model of holiness,
you are now in heaven the protector of all those
who have recourse to you in faith,
look down upon me who invokes your powerful patronage
and join your petition to mine
that i be granted the favor i seek in this novena...
day nine
o st. therese,
seraphic virgin,
beloved spouse of our crucified lord,
you who on earth did burn with a love
so intense toward your god and my god,
and now glow with a bright
and purer flame in paradise,
obtain for me, i beseech you,
a spark of that same holy fire
which shall help me to put things of the world
in their proper place
and live my life always conscious of the presence of god.
as i conclude my novena
the special favor i seek at this time...
st. therese of the child jesus, pray for us(note) after each novena please pray 24 glory be and say st. therese of child jesus pray for us in between.
