O little St. 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 wholehearted abandonment to God,
now that you rejoice in the reward of your virtues,
cast a glance of pity on me as I leave all things in your hands.
🌹
Make my troubles your own - speak a word for me 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 the Queen of the heart of Jesus to obtain for me
by her powerful intercession the grace I yearn for so ardently
at this moment, and that she join with it a blessing
that may strengthen me during life.
🌹
Defend me at the hour of death,
and lead me straight on to a happy eternity.
Amen
