St. Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as St. Therese of the Child Jesus or “The Little Flower”

Prayer of Saint Therese
of the Child Jesus

Praise to God

My Lord and my God
I have realized that whoever
undertakes to do anything
for the sake of earthly things
or to earn the praise of others
deceives himself.
Today one thing pleases the world,
tomorrow another.
What is praised on one occasion
is denounced on another.
Blessed be You,
my Lord and my God,
for You are unchangeable for all eternity.
Whoever serves You faithfully to the end
will enjoy life without end in eternity.
Amen.
