O Eternal Father Who are in heaven where You do crown the merits of those who in this world serve you faithfully for the sake of the most pure love Your little daughter Theresa of the Child Jesus had for You so as all but to bind You to give her whatever she desires seeing that while on earth she always did Your will incline Your ears to the petitions which she offers up to You on my (our) behalf and hear too my (our) prayers by granting me (us) the grace I (we) ask.

Our Father - Hail Mary - Glory Be

Eternal Son of God You Who have promised to reward the least service rendered to You in the person of our neighbour cast a glance of gentle love on Your little spouse Theresa of the Child Jesus who with such great zeal had ever at heart the salvation of souls, and for the sake of all she has done and suffered lend a willing ear to her wish of spending her heaven doing good upon earth and grant me (us) the grace I (we) plead for so earnestly from You.

O Eternal Holy Spirit, Who did make perfect with so many graces the beloved soul of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus I (we) beseech You for the sake of the fidelity she showed in ever corresponding with Your graces to incline Your ear to the prayers she offers to You on my (our) behalf and having before You her promise of letting fall from heaven a shower of roses mercifully grant me (us) the grace of which I (we) stand in such need.

Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus who during your short life on earth became a mirror of angelic purity of love strong as death and of whole-hearted abandonment to God now that we rejoice in the reward of your virtues cast a glance of pity on me (us) as I (we) leave all things in your hands. Make my (our) troubles your own speak a word for me (us) to Our Lady Immaculate whose flower of special love you were to that Queen of Heaven who smiled on you at the dawn of life.

Beg her as Queen of the Heart of Jesus to obtain for me (us) by her powerful intercession the grace I (we) yearn for so ardently at this moment and that she join with it a blessing that may strengthen me (us) during life, defend me (us) at the hour of death, and lead me (us) straight to a happy eternity.

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy our life, our sweetness and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

Consoler in desolation; refreshment full of loveliness, come dear friend of my soul. In weariness send repose; breath gently cool refreshing breeze; console the desolate who weep alone. Light of Beatitude, make our hearts ready; come enter our souls. Without Your grace, man stands alone; he cannot be good or sure. Cleanse what is soiled; heal what is wounded; moisten what is arid. Bend the stubborn will; warm the cold heart; guide the wandering footstep.

May Your Holy Spirit encourage me when I am slothful; strengthen me when I am weak; enlighten me when I no longer can help myself. Breathe into me, O Holy Spirit, that I may do what is holy.

You are called the Consoler, gift from the hand of God, source of life, light, love, and flame, highest good. You are the pledge of sevenfold grace, finger of the Father's hand, promised us by Him, and You make our tongues speak the truth. Cast light on our senses, pour love into our hearts. Grant our weak bodies strength that they may never grow weary of doing good and grant me the favor I so earnestly seek in this novena... State your request here... Keep the enemy far from us, give us peace always, let us willingly follow in Your footsteps that we may be far removed from sin. Grant that through You we may grow in knowledge of the Father and of the Son, and that we may ever strongly believe in You, the Spirit of both.

Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Your love.

Day Eight

O Holy Spirit, life and light of the Church, give us thoughts higher than our own thoughts, and prayers better than our own prayers, and powers beyond our own powers, that we may love and live, imitating Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Come to us, Holy Spirit, come with the Father and the Son and grant me the favor I so earnestly request in this novena... State your request here... Vouchsafe to dwell within our souls and quickly make our hearts Your own. Quench in us the fires of hate and strife, the wasting fever of the heart. From perils guard our feeble life and to our souls Your peace impart. Let voice and mind and heart and strength confess and glorify Your name and let the fire of charity burn bright and other hearts inflame. Amen.

Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Your love.

Day Nine

O Lord, Holy Spirit, grant me sight to see the wondrous promise of divine love; insight to see my own weakness; delight in Your divine presence in my soul which You have made Your temple through sanctifying grace. I pray, O Holy Spirit, that I may be not doubting; that I be spared the pain of being alone without trust or hope in Christ; that my prayer may always be "My Lord and my God!" I pray that I may acquire a sense of retreat to prayer and recollection at various times in my daily life; for prayer is the bond that joins us to Christ. I pray that I may be aware of the physical needs of the poor and that I may share what I can with them in the charitable works of the Church. I pray, O Holy Spirit, that You will in Your mercy grant me the favour I have sought in this novena... State your request here... Amen.

Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Your love.

Novena of The 24 Glory Be To The Father

The Twenty-four "Glory be to the Father's" novena can be said at any time. However, the ninth to the seventeenth of the month is particularly recommended, for on those days the petitioner joins in prayer with all those making the novena.

The "Glory be to the Father" praising the Holy Trinity is said twenty-four times each of the nine days, in thanksgiving for all the blessings and favors given to Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus during the twenty-four years of her life. In addition, this, or a similar prayer may be used:

Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, I thank Thee for all the blessings and favours Thou hast showered upon the soul of Thy servant Theresa of the Child Jesus, during the twenty-four years she spent here on earth, and in consideration of the merits of this Thy most beloved Saint, I beseech Thee to grant me this favour, if it is in accordance with Thy most Holy Will and is not an obstacle to my salvation." After this Prayer, follow the twenty-four "Glory Be's," between each of which may be included this short prayer: "Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus, pray for us." The Prayer "Glory Be To The Father..." Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
