Prayer to Saint Teresa of Avila

Praying Hands

Dear wonderful saint, model of fidelity to vows, you gladly carried a heavy cross following in the steps of Christ who chose to be crucified for us. You realized that God like a merciful Father chastises those whom He loves – which to worldings seems silly indeed. Grant to (name) relief from great pains if this is in line with God’s plan.

Amen.
