Prayer to St. Thérèse from the Child Jesus

In the name of the Father... (3rd)

On the medal:

O St. Thérèse, you have merited that you were chosen as the patroness of the whole world. Remember the sincere, burning desire that you nurtured in your soul during your earthly life, that you would spread the Cross of Christ throughout all parts of the world and proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the ages. We ask you, after your vow, to place under your protection all priests, missionaries, and the whole Holy Universal Church. Amen.

On the three grains:

  1. My God! I believe in You, for You are the Eternal Truth.
  2. My God! I hope in You, for You are our infinite Mercy.
  3. My God! I love You, for You are the Most Holy Good.

On the large grains:

Glory to the Father...

On the dear grains:

Holy Thérèse, patroness of missionaries, pray to God for us (10th).

Conclusion:

Most merciful Lord, Jesus Christ, Who by the price of Your Most Holy Blood redeemed the world. Look kindly upon the poor human race, a great part of which sinks in the darkness of sins, standing in the shadow of death. Grant that the Light of truth may shine over all people. Increase, Lord, the number of workers of Your Gospel. Expand and bless with Your grace their zeal and labor, that through them You may be known, and that all the unbelieving may turn to You, their Creator and Savior. Amen.

Prayer of St. Thérèse from the Child Jesus for priests

O Jesus, Eternal Divine Archiereus, keep Your priests under the protection of Your Most Holy Heart, where no one can harm them. Preserve in purity their anointed hands, which daily touch Your holy Body. Preserve in purity their mouths, reddened by Your Most Precious Blood. Preserve in purity and freedom from worldly affairs their hearts, marked with the high sign of Your full glory of priesthood. Allow them to grow in love and fidelity to You and guard them from the contagion of the world. Grant them the power to change bread and wine, as well as the power to change hearts. Bless their labor with abundant fruit and reward them in the future with the crown of eternal life. Amen.

Prayer to St. Thérèse from the Child Jesus

Little Thérèse from the Child Jesus! You, who in your short life were a source of angelic purity, great love and generous self‑offering to God, now, as you rejoice in Heaven with the reward of your virtues, look compassionately upon me, who through you completely devote myself to the Lord. Take upon yourself my sorrows and intercede for me before God to the Most Holy Virgin, whom you were a privileged flower, to the Heavenly Lady who in the early days of your life smiled upon you. She is so powerful in the Heart of Jesus! Therefore, pray to Her that She may obtain from Her Divine Son for me the grace I so ardently desire, and with it His blessing, which strengthened me in life, protected me at the hour of death, and leads to blessed eternity. Amen.
