Let us pray O God, Who didst replenish the heart of Thy blessed servant St. Teresa with the treasuries of Thy divine love, grant that, like her, we may love Thee and suffer all things for Thee and in union with Thee, that we may gain souls for Thee, and that we may secure the salvation of our own soul. This we beg through the merits of our Savior and the intercession of Thy glorious virgin Teresa. Amen. |
