Loving and gracious God,
You gathered women in the early days of Theresian formation to be supportive to one another, to grow in spiritual depth, and to fulfill your work in women’s lives who lacked a community of sisters. We have danced in your love, formed a tight web of spirituality, heard the voices of global sisters, served the church and community, and created a setting for nurturing women everywhere. We now ask in humility to guide our efforts in inviting women who are searching for community. Show them that Theresians is a place of rest, of support, of prayer, and of true sisterhood. Create in them the desire to take this step in their journey, and to recognize the rewards of life within a Theresian community. Holy Spirit, give this gift to women around the world who see their lives without value, without love, and without an anchor for their spirituality. St. Thérèse, pray for us. |
