PRAYER FOR EACH DAY
O glorious Teresa of the Infant Jesus, through whose unshaken confidence God was so glorified, obtain for me the same filial trust and love which animated thy innocent heart and soul. Grant that I may practise self-abnegation, patience and confidence, and that my confidence may be a fountain of blessings which God pours out upon me. As confidence was for thee the key to the greatest treasures of God, so may it induce me to throw myself into my Saviour's arms and say with David: 'In Thee, O my God, I put my trust, let me not be confounded.' Amen.

(Here name the intention.)

FIRST DAY — FAITH
Almighty God and Creator of all things, who to banish from human hearts lukewarmness in Thy service and inflame souls in divine love, hast enriched the soul of Thy Little Flower with such unshaken faith that she desired most ardently to give her life for Thee: I beseech Thee, by the merits of the lively faith of St. Teresa of the Infant Jesus, to infuse into my soul such an ardent faith that I may firmly believe all the truths taught by the Holy Catholic Church, and practise all the virtues until death. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

(On the following days the same prayer is made for hope, charity, humility, obedience, purity, patience, zeal for souls, and confidence in God's mercy, each with an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be.)

Let us pray.
O Lord, who hast said: Unless ye become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven, grant unto us, we beseech Thee, so to follow the footsteps of blessed Teresa, virgin, in lowliness and simplicity of heart that we may gain everlasting rewards. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
