“Saint Terezinha of the Child Jesus, who went through the dark night of the soul, without any spiritual consolation and, sustained by faith, recovered the joy of living. Implore the Good Lord for me, so that I may be able to dominate this state of sadness in which I find myself, this absurd darkness that has taken over my heart. Illuminate, Holy Doctor, my intelligence so that I discover that only God is enough for me and that I must, in everything and for everything, do only his will. From this Merciful God, who carries me in his lap, even when I feel abandoned, without any light to guide me. Make me believe, full of hope, that all despair has an end, for the love of Jesus frees hearts from the chains of fear and anguish. Give me a smile, O Santinha, and provide for me, with the Father, the gift of joy. May this Gift heal and free me, make me see the new lights that come on: the Father's love begins to shine for me. His mercy begins to warm me and I open myself to the new life that the Holy Spirit of God brings me, the same Spirit that anointed your life. O Santa das Rosas, with the precious oil of joy, which I urgently need to be able to praise the Father and the Son, with nothing weighing my heart down. I firmly believe that I will be answered, that my cry of anguish will be heard and I undertake to spread your devotion. Amen."
