mission is soon to begin: my mission to make others love the good God as I love 
Him . . . to give to souls my little way of trust and self-surrender . . 
. I will spend my heaven in doing good upon earth."

O Father 
in Heaven, Who through Saint Thèrése of the Child Jesus, desires to remind the 
world of the merciful Love that fills Thy Heart, and the childlike trust we 
should have in Thee, humbly we thank Thee for having crowned with so great glory 
Thine ever faithful child, and for giving her wondrous power to bring to Thee, 
day by day, innumerable souls who will praise Thee eternally.
Saint 
Thèrése of the Child Jesus, remember your promise to do good upon earth, shower 
down your roses on those who invoke your name, and obtain for us from God the 
graces we hope for from his infinite goodness.  Amen.  (Mention 
your
