Prayer to St. Thérèse for a Difficult Decision

O little Thérèse of the Child Jesus, who during your short life on earth became a mirror of angelic purity, of love strong as death, and of wholehearted abandonment to God: now that you rejoice in the reward of your virtues, cast a glance of pity on me as I stand before a choice I cannot see the end of. Obtain for me the light I need to know what God asks of me, the courage to choose it, and the peace to leave the outcome in his hands. You promised to let fall a shower of roses; send me some sign of your intercession, and teach me your little way of trust, which makes small things great and hard things possible. Amen.
