Prayer of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus

My Lord and my God I have realized that whoever undertakes to do anything for the sake of earthly things or to earn the praise of others deceives himself. Today one thing pleases the world, tomorrow another. What is praised on one occasion is denounced on another. Blessed be You, my Lord and my God, for You are unchangeable for all eternity. Whoever serves You faithfully to the end will enjoy life without end in eternity. AMEN

Saint Teresa of Avila's  Book Mark

Let nothing disturb you, nothing affright you. All things are passing; God never changes. Patient endurance attains to all things. Whoever possesses God is wanting in nothing; God alone suffices.
