FEAST OF ST THERESE OF THE CHILD JESUS AND THE HOLY FACE



Preface of St Therese of the Child Jesus, (Carmelite Missal.)

Father, all powerful and everliving God,
we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks.

You reveal the secrets of your kingdom
to those who become like little children.
Among them you chose Saint Therese, hidden in Christ,
to proclaim the good news of your merciful love.
Your Holy Spirit moved her
to make her life a loving oblation
of prayer and self denial
for the salvation of all mankind
through Christ and his Church.

Now with the saints and all the angels,
we praise you forever
