_PRAYER FOR THE BEATIFICATION OF THE SERVANT OF GOD_
∵
O Jesus, who, to put our pride to confusion didst will to become a
little child, and who later pronounced that solemn decree: “_Unless ye
become as little children ye shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven_,”
deign to listen to our humble prayer in regard to her who lived
perfectly that life of _spiritual childhood_, and who has so well
recalled to us the way.
O little Babe of Bethlehem, by the ineffable charms of Thy Divine
Infancy, O adorable Face of Jesus, by the humiliations of Thy
Passion, we implore, that if it be for the glory of God and for the
sanctification of souls, the halo of the Blessed may soon irradiate the
pure brow of Thy childlike spouse, Thérèse of the Child Jesus and of
the Holy Face.
O God, who didst inflame with Thy Spirit of Love the soul of Thy
Servant, Thérèse of the Child Jesus, grant that we also may love Thee
and may make Thee greatly loved.
[_Adapted from a prayer of Sœur Thérèse._]
100 days’ indulgence.
✠ CARD. BOURNE, _Arch. of Westminster_.
August 1, 1912.
