Lord Jesus, You chose St Teresa of Los Andes
to show people the joy of knowing and loving You.
She consecrated her life to Your love
and reflected in her countenance
the beauty of Your Divine Face.
You also asked her to spread the joyful message
of the Gospel and she spent her Young life living
the Gospel of Love.
We ask You, Lord, that her canonization by the Church
may serve to exalt Your name and to bring
her message of faith and love, of joy and hope,
to everyone, especially those most in need.
We also ask You to grant us the particular grace
we now pray for through her intercession.
