A prayer to St. Teresa



Lord, God of our fathers,

you brought St. Teresa Benedicta

to the fullness of the science of the cross

at the hour of her martyrdom.

Fill us with that same knowledge;

and, through her intercession,

allow us always to seek after you, the supreme truth,

and to remain faithful until death to the covenant of love

ratified in the blood of your Son

for the salvation of all men and women.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.



"Love will be our eternal life."


Edith Stein
