Jesus, you made Saint Teresa
an inspiring example of firm faith and burning charity,
an extraordinary witness to the way of spiritual childhood,
and a great and esteemed teacher of the value and dignity of every human life.
Hear the requests of all those who seek her intercession,
especially the petition I now implore...
(mention here the favor you wish to pray for).
May we follow her example in heeding Your cry of thirst from the Cross
and joyfully loving You in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor,
especially those most unloved and unwanted.
We ask this in Your name and through the intercession of Mary,
Your Mother and the Mother of us all.
