Novena to Saint Teresa of Avila ~~ Day 5 ~~

On the fifth day of the Novena to Saint Teresa of Avila, we ask our Lord Jesus Christ for the gift of humility, which He granted to Saint Teresa.

O most kind Lord Jesus Christ! we thank Thee for the great gift of humility which Thou didst grant to Thy beloved Teresa; we pray Thee, by Thy merits, and by those of Thy most humble spouse, to grant us the grace of a true humility, which may make us ever find our joy in humiliation, and prefer contempt before every honor.

* Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be

V. St. Teresa, pray for us.
R. That we may become worthy of the promises of Jesus Christ.

Let us pray.

Graciously hear us, O God of our salvation! that as we rejoice in the commemoration of the blessed virgin Teresa, so we may be nourished by her heavenly doctrine, and draw from thence the fervor of a tender devotion; through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen
