Novena to St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus
Fourth Day
Dearest St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, 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.
(Mention your
intentions)
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. Thérèse, you were faithful to God up until 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 of love for God our savior.
Amen.
Prayer
Loving God, You taught St. Thérèse how to find You through the “little
way” of humility and simplicity. Grant that I may never miss the grace hidden
in humble service to others.
Dear Little Flower of Carmel, bearing so patiently the disappointments
and delays allowed by God, and preserving in the depths of your soul an
unchanging peace because you sought only God’s will, obtain for me a complete
conformity to that adorable Will in all the trials and disappointments of life.
If the favors I am asking during this Novena are pleasing to God, obtain
them for me. If not, it is true I shall feel the refusal keenly, but I wish
only God’s Will as you did. I pray that Jesus will be the perfect fulfillment
of all my wishes as He was for you.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy
Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us
from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of death.
Amen.
Glory be
Glory be, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in
the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
