St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus
O Jesus, whose face is the sole beauty
that ravishes my heart,
I may not behold here upon earth
the sweetness of your glance,
or feel the inexpressible
tenderness of your kiss.
I bow to your will.
But I pray you to imprint in me
your divine likeness,
and I beg you to so inflame me with your love
that it may quickly consume me
and I may soon reach the vision
of your glorious face in heaven. Amen.
- St. Thérèse of Lisieux
