"I feel that my
mission is soon to begin: my mission to make others love the good God as I love
Him . . . to give to souls my little way of trust and self-surrender . .
. I will spend my heaven in doing good upon earth."
O Father
in Heaven, Who through Saint Thèrése of the Child Jesus, desires to remind the
world of the merciful Love that fills Thy Heart, and the childlike trust we
should have in Thee, humbly we thank Thee for having crowned with so great glory
Thine ever faithful child, and for giving her wondrous power to bring to Thee,
day by day, innumerable souls who will praise Thee eternally.
Saint
Thèrése of the Child Jesus, remember your promise to do good upon earth, shower
down your roses on those who invoke your name, and obtain for us from God the
graces we hope for from his infinite goodness. Amen. (Mention
your
petitions)
