Novena St. Teresa of Jesus- October 14

"Lastly, O dearest Jesus Christ! we thank thee for the gift of the precious death which thou did grant to thy beloved Teresa, making her sweetly to die of love; we pray thee, by thy merits and by those of thy most affectionate spouse, to grant us a good death, and if we do not die of love, yet, that we may, at least, die burning with love for thee, that so dying , we may be able to go and love thee forever with a more perfect love in heaven."

Our Father.. Hail Mary.. Glory be..

O Jesus, who Teresa's beauteous soul
With thy love-dart didst fire,
Deep in my heart of hearts
Her own sweet longing love of thee inspire.

St. Teresa, pray for us.
That we may become worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let Us Pray:
Graciously hear us, O God, our salvation! that as we rejoice in the commemoration of the blessed virgin Teresa (our Mother) , so we may be nourished by her heavenly doctrine, and draw from thence the fervor of a tender devotion , through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen. "
