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.
