Prayer to the Little Flower
[Little Thérèse Prayer]
"Oh little Thérèse
of the Child Jesus, who during thy short life on earth became a mirror
of angelic purity, of love strong as death, and of wholehearted
abandonment to God, now that thou rejoicest in the reward of Thy
virtues, cast a glance of pity on me as I leave all things in thy
hands. Make my troubles thy own --- speak a word for me to our Lady
Immaculate, whose flower of special love thou wert --- to that Queen of
Heaven 'who smiled on thee at the dawn of life.' Beg her as Queen of
the Heart of Jesus to obtain for me by her powerful intercession the
grace I yearn for so ardently at this moment, and that she join with it
a blessing that may strengthen me during life, defend me at the hour of
death, and lead me straight on to a happy eternity."
Little Thérèse ---
May thy winning smile
Cheer us all the while.
Little Thérèse ---
May thy childlike trust
Show us too we must.
Little Thérèse ---
May thy little way
Guide us every day.
Little Thérèse ---
In thy loving prayer
May we ever share.
Little Thérèse ---
Lover of Mary mild
Keep up always as her child.
Little Thérèse ---
Simple as the dove,
Look down upon us from above.
Little Thérèse ---
Let thy holy power
Be with us every hour.
Little Thérèse ---
The fragrance of thy roses
A Heaven to us discloses.
Little Thérèse ---
May their fragrance sweet
Be with us till we meet.
And then when life is o'er ---
Oh, to see thee evermore!
