PRAYER OF SAINT THERESE OF THE HOLY FACE

October 1 is the feast day of Saint Therese of the Holy Face. Today people complain about every little detail in their lives. Saint Therese  welcomed her sufferings and she had many and looked  upon them as a blessing for she realized just how much Our Blessed Lord had suffered for us. She died at the tender age of 24. The way the world is today, if you live in a world free from war, have your stomach full and a roof over your head you really can't complain.

PRAYER OF SAINT THERESE OF THE HOLY FACE
Jesus who in thy bitter passion didst become the reproach of men and the man of sorrows, I venerate thy holy face on which shone the beauty and gentleness of divinity. In those disfigured features I recognize thine infinite love and I long to love thee and make thee loved. May I behold thy glorious face in heaven.
