Repeat the following Novena prayers every day for 9 consecutive days.

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.

Lord Jesus, You chose St Teresa of Los Andes
to show people the joy of knowing and loving You.
She consecrated her life to Your love
and reflected in her countenance
the beauty of Your Divine Face.
You also asked her to spread the joyful message of the Gospel
and she spent her Young life living the Gospel of love.
We ask You, Lord,
that her canonization by the Church
may serve to exalt Your name
and to bring her message of faith and love,
of joy and hope, to everyone,
especially those most in need.
We also ask You to grant us the particular grace
we now pray for through her intercession.

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 weak 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.

Say 1 Our Father...

Say 1 Hail Mary...
