Prayer to the Holy Trinity by Therese of the Child Jesus Prayer to the My God! Blessed Trinity, I desire you
love you and make love, work for the glorification of the Holy Church by saving souls on earth and (in) delivering those suffering in Purgatory.
I want your will be done perfectly and arrive at that degree of glory you have prepared in your kingdom, in a word, I want to be a saint, but I feel my helplessness and I beg you, O my God! be yourself my Holiness.
Because you loved me to give me your only Son to be my Savior and my Spouse, the infinite treasures of His merits are mine, I offer them with joy, begging you to look upon me only in the Face of Jesus and in His Heart burning with love.
I offer yet all the merits of the saints (in heaven and on earth) their acts of Love and those of the holy angels, and finally I offer you, O Blessed Trinity! Love and the merits of the Blessed Virgin, Mother dear, it's to her I abandon my offering, begging her to present it.
His Divine Son, my Beloved Husband, the days of his mortal life, said: "Anything you ask of my Father in my name, He will give you!" I'm sure that You will grant my desires, I know, O my God! (The more you want to give, the more you desire).
I feel in my heart immense desires and it is with confidence I ask you to come and take possession of my soul. Ah! I can not receive Holy Communion as often as I want, but, Lord, do not you Almighty? ... Remain in me, as the tabernacle, do not walk away from your little victim ...
I want to console You for the ingratitude of the wicked, and I beg you take away my freedom to displease you, if I sometimes fall through weakness Your Divine Glance cleanse my soul consuming all my imperfections like the fire transforms everything into itself ...
Thank you, O my God! all the graces you have granted me, especially for making me go through the crucible of suffering. It is with joy that I behold the last day with the rod of the Cross, since you (have) deigned to give me in sharing this precious Cross, I hope to Heaven you look and see shining in my glorified body the sacred stigmata of Your Passion ...
After the exile of the earth, I hope to go and enjoy yourself in the Fatherland, but I do not want to lay up merits for heaven, I want to work for your love alone, the sole purpose to make you happy , consoling Your Sacred Heart and save souls who will love you forever.
the evening of this life, I appear before you with empty hands, because I do not ask you, Lord, to count my works. All our justice is blemished in your eyes. I wish, then take your own Justice and to receive your love the eternal possession of Yourself. I want no other Throne and other Crown but You, O my Beloved! ...
In your eyes time is nothing, one day is as a thousand years, so you can instantly get ready to appear before you ...
To live in an act of perfect Love, I offer myself as a sacrificial victim to your merciful love, begging you to consume me incessantly, allowing overflow into my soul the waves of infinite tenderness within you and thus I may become a martyr of Your Love O my God ...
May this martyrdom after having prepared me to appear before you finally make me die and my soul rushed without delay into the eternal embrace of Your Merciful Love ...
I, O my Beloved, with every beat of my heart to renew this oblation an infinite number of times, until the shadows having disappeared I can tell you again my love in the Lord Face to Face ! ...
