Novena to St. Teresa of Avila

Novena to St. Teresa of Avila In the name of the Father, and of the  Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Eternal Father, by Your Holy Spirit,  You raised up our peerless Mother, St. Teresa of Avila, to show Your Church the  way to perfection. May her inspired teaching awaken in us a longing for true holiness.

May  these prayers of preparation for her feast keep us faithful to Christ and help us to work in the  Church for the salvation of all mankind. Amen. V.

Holy Mother St. Teresa,  look down from heaven and see. R.

Take care of this vine and protect  what your right hand has planted. (Mention your petition here) Let us pray: Lord, our God, watch over this religious family You nourish with the Bread from heaven.  Help us to follow the example of our holy mother, St.

Teresa, and sing Your merciful love forever.  We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the  Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
