Commemoration at Morning Prayer (Prayer for Vocations)

What consolation I feel, O my amiable and powerful protector, to hear your servant, Saint Teresa, assure us that no one has ever invoked you in vain, and that all those who have true devotion to you and invoke your assistance with confidence, have always been answered. Animated by a similar confidence, I have recourse to you, O worthy spouse of the Virgin of virgins: I take refuge at your feet, and though I am a sinner, I present myself before you. Reject not my humble prayers, O you who have borne the glorious name of father of Jesus, but listen favorably to them, and deign to intercede for us with Him Who vouch-safed to be called your Son, and Who has always honored you as His father. Amen.
