La Petite Fleur

Dear Susan,

Greetings! How are you? In honor of St. Thérèse of Lisieux perhaps I should have written a French greeting at the beginning of this eNewsletter such as, “Bonjour!” At the beginning of this month, as a universal Body of believers we celebrated the Memorial of “The Little Flower” or “La Petite Fleur.” In remembrance of this joyful occasion I found a prayer written by this great Doctor of the Church that can be offered at the beginning of each day:

O my God! I offer Thee all my actions of this day for the intentions and for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart, my every thought, my simplest works, by uniting them to Its infinite merits; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them into the furnace of Its Merciful Love.

 

O my God! I ask of Thee for myself and for those whom I hold dear, the grace to fulfill perfectly Thy Holy Will, to accept for love of Thee the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in heaven for all Eternity. Amen.
