O little Therese of the Child Jesus, please pick for me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me as a message of love.
O Little Flower of Jesus, ask God to grant the favors I now place with confidence in your hands:
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
St. Therese, help me always to believe, as thou didst, in God’s great love for me, so that I may imitate thy Little Way each day. Amen.
St. Therese, flower of fervor and love, please intercede for us. Fill our hearts with thy pure love of God.
As we approach and celebrate thy feast day, make us more aware of the goodness of God and how well He tends His garden.
Instill in us thy little way of doing ordinary things with extraordinary love.
Give us the heart of a child who wonders at life and embraces everything with loving enthusiasm.
Teach us thy delight in God’s ways so that divine charity may blossom in our hearts.
Little Flower of Jesus, bring our petitions before God our Father.
With thy confidence, we come before Jesus as God’s children, because thou art our heavenly friend.
As we celebrate the feast day of thy homecoming in Heaven, continue to shower roses and grace upon us.
Amen.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
