[font=Arial, sans-serif]The Glory Be is said 24 times each day for nine days, in thanksgiving for all the blessings and favors given to Saint Therese of the Child Jesus during the 24 years of her life. Start the novena each day with this prayer:
"Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit, I thank Thee for all the blessings and favors Thou has showered upon the soul of Thy servant Therese of the Child Jesus, during the 24 years she spent here on earth, and in consideration of the merits of this, thy most beloved Saint, I beseech Thee to grant me this favor, if it is in accordance with Thy most Holy Will and is not an obstacle to my salvation."
After this prayer, follow with the 24 Glory Be's, between each of which should be included this short prayer:
"Saint Therese of the Child Jesus pray for us".
From the ninth to the seventeenth of each month this prayer is prayed universally, thus forming one great prayer in common. This novena can be said at any time however.[/font]
