Opening prayer of the proper mass of Saint Teresa of the
Andes:
God of mercy, joy of the saints,
you set the youthful heart of Saint Teresa ablaze with the
fire of virginal love for Christ and for his Church; and
even in suffering you made her a cheerful witness to charity.
Through her intercession, fill us with the delights of your
Spirit, so that we may proclaim by word and deed the joyful
message of your love to the world.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit now and for ever.
Amen.
Prayer of the Church of Chile to
Teresa de Los Andes :
| Teresa de Los Andes,
Who by the hand of Mary was changed
Into a young girl in love for Jesus Christ,
You are a model of holiness
And a way of perfection for the Church.
You knew how to laugh, to love, to play and
to serve.
You were strong to bear suffering
And generous to love.
You knew how to contemplate God
In the simple things of life.
Show us the love of the Father
To live friendship in joy
And tenderness in the family.
Help the week and the sorrowful
That the Holy Spirit
May encourage them in hope.
Intercede for us
And ask for Chile love and peace.
Teresa de Los Andes,
Predilected daughter of the Chilean Church,
Religious of Carmel,
Friend of young people,
Servant of the poor,
Pray for us every day
Amen. |
