Novena to St. Therese
I greet you, St. Therese of the Child Jesus, lily of purity, ornament and glory of Christianity. I greet you, great Saint, seraph of divine love. I rejoice at the favors our Blessed Lord Jesus has liberally bestowed upon you. In humility and confidence I ask you to help me, for I know that God has given you love and pity as well as power. Then, behold my distress, my anxiety, my fears. Tell Him my wants. Your requests will crown my petition with success, will fill me with joy. Remember your promise to do good on earth. Please obtain for me from God the graces I hope for from the infinite goodness of our blessed Lord, especially (mention your request).

Amen.
