DAY 2: Short Meditation of the Day

"To love is to give everything and to give oneself"

Therese let herself be won by the love of God. She was able to take advantage of the smallest opportunity to repay love for love.

Therese, educator of love, you let yourself be seduced by Christ's love. You had no other desire but to answer him. Your path: that of simplicity, day by day, in the banality of everyday life, you poured out your love to Jesus as one strews flowers to a dear friend.

Community prayer

Prayer of the novena

O Little Therese of the Child Jesus Please pick for me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me as a message of love. O Little Flower of Jesus, ask God to grant the favors I now place with confidence in your hands (mention your special prayer request here) St. Therese, help me to always believe as you did, in God's great love for me, so that I may imitate your "Little Way" each day. Amen You can end with one Hail Mary
