Let us Pray
GRANT, we beseech Thee, almighty God, that we who are weighed down by the burden of our sins may be raised up by the patronage of Thy blessed confessor Dominic. Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
Indulgence of 100 days, once a day. — Leo XIII, July 21, 1883.
St. Teresa's Book-Mark, Which She Kept in Her Breviary
Let nothing trouble thee,
Let nothing affright thee.
All things pass away,
God never changes.
Patience obtains everything.
God alone suffices!
When crosses would afflict thee,
Oh! let thy watchword be,
Thy holy Mother's lesson,
"Let nothing trouble thee."
If darkness round thee gathers,
And fills thy soul with fear,
"Let nothing e'er afright thee,"
She whispers in thy ear.
In every joy or sorrow
Which meets thee day by day,
She bids thee to remember
"That all things pass away."
If lonely or forsaken.
By friends thou art forgot,
Thy Spouse, she doth remind thee,
"Is one that changeth not."
When hope within thee wavers,
And distant seems the goal,
How patience winneth all things,
She tells thy weary soul,
