Heaven Scent

Oh, little Thérèse
Spending your eternal Heaven doing good upon the Earth
I ask, "Please, pick a bloom from the gardens of paradise
And send it down to me as a message of your gentle love"

Oh, little flower, Thérèse
Powerful and obtaining every need
Body and spirit, from the heart of God
Please, grant the favor, and I'll place the confidence in your hands
I beseech you

Send me your majestic rain of roses
So that I may share your grace
Bless me with blooms of lily
Blooms of violet
Blooms of buttercup
Blooms of lilac

Blooms of jasmine
Blooms of hyacinth
Blooms of honeysuckle
Blooms of magnolia
Blooms of gardenia
Blooms of tuberose

Let fall from Heaven, please, the shower of flowers
Let me be anointed with the splendor of their perfumed essence
So that I may see the face of God in all people and all experiences

Oh, my glorious sister, Thérèse
Prodigy of miracles, your petals unfurled
I implore your miraculous intersection

Whisper to me
Help me to always trust, as you did
In God our Father's great love for me
So that in your fragrant path
I might imitate your venerable little way
And walk heroically
Holding the blossom of grace with me each day
Amen

Let fall from Heaven, please, the shower of flowers

Let me be anointed with the splendor of their perfumed essence

So that I may see the face of God in all people and all experiences
So that in your fragrant path, I might imitate your venerable little way
