Gracious God, you made a dwelling place for your love in the heart of St. Thérèse. In company with her we pray: Enkindle in us the light of your face, O God.
For greater understanding among the diversity of cultures in your Church and in our world, we pray:
Enkindle in us the light of your face, O God.
For missionaries at home and abroad, we pray:
Enkindle in us the light of your face, O God.
For purity of heart, clarity of mind, and generosity of spirit, we pray:
Enkindle in us the light of your face, O God.
Our Father . . .
May God help us in time of need and lead us to shine like the stars forever, through Jesus our light. Amen.
