The Prayer of St. Therese of Lisieux

Lord, give me the open heart of a child.
Let me come trustingly to You, not afraid to ask for Your love.
Deliver me from the belief that I am self-sufficient.
Show me my need of You.
Give me the grace to reach out to You.
Lord give me a child’s simplicity and a sense of wonder.
May my enthusiasm for You never dim.
Let me hasten to converse with You in the intimacy of prayer.
Give me discernment to realize there is no detail of my life too tiny for Your concern.
Help me to perceive Your glory in the helplessness of the cross.
Son of God, who for my sake, took on the dependency of childhood, help me to accept the readiness of the Father’s Grace.
Amen.
