Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus,

You who followed the "little way" of trust and love towards God,

You show us that holiness is accessible to all,

Even to the smallest and humblest.

We entrust to you our joys and our sorrows,

Our hopes and our despairs,

Our prayers and our doubts,

For we know that you intercede for us with God.

Inspire us to live each day with simplicity and love,

To trust in God's mercy,

And to find joy in the little things of life.

Help us to grow in faith, hope and love,

And to follow your example of devotion to God

And service to others.

Saint Thérèse,

We ask you to guide us on our spiritual journey,

To support us in our trials,

And to help us respond to God's call with generosity and fidelity.

May we, like you,

Live as God's beloved children,

And bear witness to his love in the world.

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, pray for us,

That we may walk with you on the path of holiness

And one day reach the eternal happiness of Heaven.

Amen.
