Feast Day Novena Prayer

From the Society of The Little Flower

(This prayer is used by the Carmelites during the Feast Day Novena)

St. Therese, Flower of fervor and love, please intercede for us.

Fill our hearts with your pure love of God.

As we approach and celebrate your feast day,

make us more aware of the goodness of

God and how well He tends His garden.

Instill in us your little way of doing

ordinary things with extra-ordinary love.

Give us the heart of a child who wonders

at life and embraces everything with loving enthusiasm.

Teach us your delight in God's ways

so that divine charity may blossom in our hearts.

Little Flower of Jesus, bring our petitions

(mention in silence here)

before God, our Father.

With your confidence, we come before Jesus

as God's children,

because you are our heavenly friend.

As we celebrate the Feast Day of your

homecoming in heaven,continue to

shower roses and grace upon us.

Amen
