DAY 7 :: Novena for St. Therese of Lisieux
St. Therese, Flower of fervor and love, please intercede for us. Fill our hearts with your pure love of God. As we approach and celebrate your feast day, make us more aware of the goodness of God and how well He tends His garden.
Instill in us your little way of doing ordinary things with extra-ordinary love. Give us the heart of a child who wonders at life and embraces everything with loving enthusiasm. Teach us your 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. We especially ask you to present to Him our priests and bishops as they enter into their convocation. With your confidence, we come before Jesus as God's children, because you are our heavenly friend. As we celebrate the Feast Day of your homecoming in heaven, continue to shower roses of grace upon us.
Amen.
