prayer (to Saint Therese de Lisieux) for guidance
Prayer:
Govern by all Thy Wisdom, O Lord,
so that my soul may always be serving Thee
as Thou dost Will,
and not as I may choose.
Do not punish me, I beseech Thee,
by granting that which I wish or ask if it offended Thy Love,
which would always live in me.
Let me die to myself, so that I may love Thee.
Let me live to Thee, Who art in Thyself, the True Life.
Dear St. Therese,
guide me in your Little Way,
so that I may ascend to the heights and happiness of Heaven.
Amen.
