Friday Lenten Prayer

"O Jesus, it is true that I am not always faithful, but I never become discouraged. I cast myself into Your arms, and like a little dewdrop, I sink deeper and deeper into Your chalice, O divine Flower of the field, and there I find all I have lost and much more besides. 
Yes, O my God, I am happy to feel little and weak in your presence, and my heart remains in peace . . . I am glad to feel so imperfect and to need Your mercy so much!"
~ St. Therese of the Child Jesus
