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.

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.

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.
