Final Day of Novena

Ninth Day

Dear Little St. Thérèse, by love and suffering while you were on earth,

you won the power with God which you now enjoy in heaven.

Since your life there began, you have showered down countless blessings on this poor world;

you have been an instrument made use of by your divine Spouse to work countless miracles.

I beg of you to remember all my wants.

Sufferings must come to me also,

may I use them to love God more,

and follow my Jesus better.

You are especially the little missionary of love.

Make me love Jesus more, and all others for His sake.

With all my heart I thank the most Holy Trinity

for the wonderful blessings conferred on you,

and upon the world through you.

Intercede for us all the days of our life,

but especially during this Novena and obtain for us from God

the graces and favors we ask through your intercession.

Amen.

Thought for the day: The Mission of the Little Flower.

I do not intend to remain inactive in Heaven.

I want to work for the Church and for souls.

I have asked this of God and I am certain that He will grant my request.
I will spend my Heaven doing good upon earth.

This is not impossible, since the angels though always enjoying the beatific vision, watch over us.

No, I cannot be at rest until the end of the world.
I beseech Thee, O Jesus, to cast Thy divine glance on a great number of little souls.

I beg of Thee to choose in this world a legion of little victims, worthy of Thy Love.



O Lord, You have said:

Unless you become as little children

you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven;

grant us, we beg You, so to follow,

in humility and simplicity of heart,

the footsteps of the Virgin blessed Thérèse,

that we may attain to an everlasting reward.

Amen.

Pax

Watch for the roses!!!
