Daily Prayer
Dearest St. Therese of Lisieux, 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…
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. Therese, you were faithful to God even unto 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 in love for God our savior.
Loving God, you blessed St. Therese with a capacity for a great love. Help me to believe in your unconditional love for each of your children, especially for me.
Day 1
Preview: Welcome to the first day of the novena to St. Thérèse, where we pray for the Church in mission territories.
Reflection:
St. Thérèse reminds us that God’s love is present in the small, ordinary moments of our lives. She believed that doing even the smallest tasks with love could bring us closer to God. Today, let us embrace her “little way” as we pray for the strength to love God more deeply in every aspect of our lives.
Daily Intention:
I love you, Lord. Help me and those in the Pope’s missions to love you more!
Closing Prayer:
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit…
Amen
