St. Teresa of Jesus's Seven Day Psalter for Young People: Week 2

Teresa of Jesus of the Andes’s Seven Day Psalter for Young People: Week 2

When you have decided to begin saying this weekly psalter devotion, you have already made a friend who is St. Teresa of Jesus of the Andes. She is aware that you are beginning this devotion, and she is believing in you, and desiring that you enter into Life in Jesus’s Love in the Immaculate Heart of Mary. By her wanting this for you, she is making it clear that she cares, and therefore showing you that she loves you, and is going to look out for you.

       Prayer is love from our heart. St. Teresa of Jesus of the Andes will be asking Jesus from her heart for light and grace that will be your help as you pray these prayers every day. Light and grace from God works, like an elevator that lifts your heart and mind upward toward God so that you can understand the things of God. Knowing the ways of God helps us to make right choices in our lives. A good Christian is a person, who in every situation, continues to make the right decision. Furthermore, as good Christian’s we do not need to worry about making the right decisions tomorrow; our focus should be on making all the right decisions today. And, the way we live our lives is to take each day, one at a time, and make all the right decisions for that day. In the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we are never alone, we have St. Teresa of Jesus to rely on for help. She is closer than a whisper away. Whisper whatever you need and she will intervene. She will always be close by for you, and if you are not sure, ask her to make herself known to you and she will. It is her foremost concern that you are in relationship with Jesus and His Mother, and also to help you to make the decision to pray this weekly psalter every day.


How to pray the psalter 

Read only the prayers assigned for each day of the week. For example read Monday’s prayers for Monday only, and Tuesday’s prayer’s for Tuesday and so on. Why this is so, is because this is part of what makes prayer successful. It must be performed every day. Prayer is like most things in life that we know about, for example: If you put gas in your car, it goes; If you water the plant, it blossoms; If you study for your test, you get high marks, and so on. There are many benefits to prayer. It can be engaging and exciting, and it will also bring you much peace and happiness. Prayer is our daily appointment with Jesus and Mary where we exchange sentiments of love from our heart. It is a good practice to mean everything you say when you recite the prayers. Feel free to add additional sentiments of love as you are lead to do so.

       As always, when praying find a quiet place that will remain quiet for an hour. Turn off anything that can become a distraction, like your cell phone, music, and videos. Do what is necessary to establish peace and calm on the inside of you as well as on the outside. You will notice right away the happiness that you are experiencing if you say the prayers every day. If you are experiencing any difficulties ask St. Teresa of Jesus to assist you.

Opening Prayers

Taking My Place Prayer

My Dearest Mary, 

Please allow me to take my place,

in your Beautiful Immaculate Heart today,

so that I may embrace Jesus,

as my Lord and Savior;

for the occasion of participating in His Life,

and growing in His Love.

I also ask you, my Precious Mother,

to remain close to me,

so that I may enjoy you,

as my close companion,

for a continuous Dialogue of Love,

and to be favored by your assistance,

in everything that pleases you. Amen.


Delighting in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Prayer

Immaculate Heart of Mary, I love you.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, I praise you.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, I adore you.

In you I am so pleased to have made my home,

which is the Cathedral of Love.


Scripture Verse

“For he hath given his Angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. In their hands they shall bear thee up, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.” Ps 90:11–12


Reflection

Mary, loves each of us as though you or I were her only child. If she had an opportunity to make known to you how much she loves you, she would show it by inviting you to a banquet that she has prepared in your honor. When you arrive, she greets you at the gate with a big smile, and expresses how happy she is that you came. Then she leads you to be seated in the place of honor which is next to Her. She asks that you keep her company during the final arrangements of the feast at which time you engage in a very pleasant conversation with Her. When it comes time to be served, Mary and her “guest of honor”—which is you—are served first. The fare is the finest quality that Mary has made with Her own hands. While the other guests are being served, she expresses how delighted She is that you accepted Her invitation to spend this time with Her. For the remainder of the evening, you fully enjoy yourself eating and drinking in Mary’s company. Her veal parmesan is exquisit, and the apple pie was out of this world. She is pleased to see that you liked her cooking so much. Though you are dining with the Mother of God, you feel very much at ease with her. After enjoying Her company and the festivities for some time, the time of your departure has arrived. Embraces are followed by her invitation for you to drop by and spend more time with her, and in addition to this more frequent visits. She then gives you a very lovely smile as you agree to these commitments, and with a final embrace you say goodbye.


Daily Renewal Prayers


Make Me Shine

Oh My Jesus,

doing what you are asking of me,

is for me the hardest thing to do.

There are times when 

I give little attention to what

you want me to do;

and I feel bad about this and I am sorry.

Jesus be my strength and my courage;

I need your help.

When You and I work together,

This is when I know I will shine. Amen.

Scripture Verse

“And Mary said: Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to thy word. And the Angel departed from Her.” Lk 1:38


Reflection

Jesus’s Love is a treasure of gold coins for those who want to receive His Love in their heart. And the value of His Love is unable to be estimated. Those who want to receive more of this great treasure can do so, all they need to do is ask for it. Jesus’s bank, where He keeps His treasure, can never be emptied of its funds. If we want more gold coins of Jesus’s Love, we need to invest time and energy in prayer, and spend quality time with Him and His mother. Our payment, in addition to His Love, are the secrets of their hearts which they will make known to us. These secrets bring happiness, joy, and the love of heaven to this earth, and the sorrow and hurts of people will be taken away.


Daily Renewal Prayers

Broken Friendships

Those who were closest to me my Jesus,

have broken their friendship with me.

And, in my suffering I turn to you,

when you were abandoned most,

which was on the Cross.

I now know how you felt.

And, in joining my suffering to yours, 

You have put your arms around me,

and that is when I felt Your Love.

I thank you my Jesus,

Because of what you have done for me,

I am now able to love in return. Amen.

Sayings of St. Teresa of Jesus’s 

  • It is more important to speak to Jesus and Mary with your heart, rather than just simply speaking to them.
  • Lift your heart to your Holy Mother in prayer and do not worry. Worry wastes your strength, and your Mother who watches over you will bring the problem to a peaceful end.
  • Make your heart big with compassion and kindness toward others, and you can be confident that you will receive many gifts from the Holy Spirit. 


Daily Devotional Exercise

Climb up a small flight of stairs. And as you climb, skip every other step and say: “My dearest Mary, this is how my heart bounds toward you.”

Scripture Verse

“Know you not that you are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” 1 Cor 3:16


Reflection

Jesus’s Love was in everything He did when He was a child on earth. You could see it in His smile, and His happy disposition was the cause of cheerful hearts around Him. When He spoke, the Love from His heart brought encouragement, reconciliation, and peace. When Jesus’s Mother brought a poor and sick person into their home, Jesus, in His Love acted as servant. He gave the visitor extraordinary care thus bringing about a speedy recovery, which brought enormous joy to the person made well, and to His Mother. When He worked with His foster father St. Joseph, His Love made Him the best helper. He was attentive, and His kind help made certain the success of every project they worked on together. In this way Jesus’s Love is to be at work in our hearts bringing the best out of every person, and bringing God’s Goodness in every circumstance. This is why His Love is the best thing that has happened to us in our lives.

Scripture Verse

“Thou art worthy, O Lord our God to receive glory and honor and power. Because thou hast created all things: and for thy Will they were and have been created.” Rev 4:11


Reflection

Jesus is the Boy King in His Mother’s Heart. He is so lovable, and adorable, and He wishes to waste no time in beginning a relationship with you. His plan is to be the best friend you ever had. Jesus is at the same time King and poor person, which means that all while He is Lord Supreme, He begs for your heart with the intention of never giving it back. What’s more is that He knows everything about you, but doesn’t know when you will give him what He desires most, which is your heart. Jesus becomes a child because He wants to be your friend, and if you agree to give Him your heart, the joy of a new friendship will make Him sing and dance. Give him your heart by opening it up to receive Him and then take a hold of His hand which will bring much happiness to your heart and His.


Daily Renewal Prayers

A Visit with Jesus

How lovely is the Heart of Mary.

How wonderful it is to meet Him here;

He is delighted that I have arrived . . .

and a passing on of His comfort.

Words of love are exchanged,

with another smile of approval.

I am so happy to have made my visit. Amen.

Sayings of St. Teresa of Jesus’s 

  • Everyone has a place reserved for them in the Immaculate Heart of Mary that no one else can occupy except you.
  • Every instance of overcoming a fault and resisting a temptation, becomes an opportunity to make Jesus and Mary proud.
  • Jesus’s Love is the string that holds the pearls of our kind deeds together. If His Love is absent the string breaks, and we loose all of our pearls. 


Daily Devotional Exercise

Find an empty soda can. Write on a piece of paper a vice that you are trying to break. Next, slip the piece of paper into the empty soda can. After placing the can on the ground and say: “My Precious Mother who stands victoriously on top of the snake, give me the Grace.” Then crush the can thoroughly under your foot. After that throw it away.

Scripture Verse

“For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Mt 18:20


Reflection

Becoming a child of Mary is the key that unlocks the gate to Mary’s Immaculate Heart. Mary’s sweet invitation goes out to us to be Her son or daughter, and She is expecting that we say yes. Mary is loveliness that is holy, and while being close to Her we grow and become like Her and leave the mark of our Mother’s perfect qualities in everything we do. In following Her example, daily problems will be unable to get us down, because regardless of the circumstance, she is patient, kind, understanding, optimistic, and shows love in return. By imitating Her we unite ourselves to Her in a loving embrace. When we live in Her embrace our hearts become light, and we as her children, are able to express our feelings of love and other feelings to Her with ease. Being a child of Mary is a special privilege because we share Her the same way Jesus did when He was a child. Staying within the reach of Mary, we experience the benefit of Her assistance because, as our Mother, she desires to do this for us. This is very strengthening, and it brings us much peace and confidence; and she then becomes our complete joy.


Daily Renewal Prayers

Mary I Want to be Loved by You

My dearest Mary,

I want to be close to you.

I want to hear the sweetness in your voice.

I want to know the same arms, smile, and Heart that Jesus enjoys.

I want to know the plan in your Heart for me,

and I want to imitate you.

But, my dearest Mother,

I am missing what I want most,

I want to be loved by you,

Help me to do what pleases you. Amen.

Sayings of St. Teresa of Jesus’s 

  • Jesus and Mary can never turn away a sincere heart that desires to love them.
  • Our Precious gives us the protection, courage, and strength for us to remain standing on top of the serpent in our lives, which are difficulties that we face every day.
  • If we are experiencing weakness, do not grow sad. Weakness helps us to be more dependent on Mary’s Immaculate Heart.

 

Daily Devotional Exercise

Lay your Bible (closed) on a table top in front of you and say from your heart: “Holy Spirit speak to me.” Next, close your eyes, and then open the Bible without looking, and place the tip of your finger somewhere on the page.

“Dearly beloved, let us love one another for charity is of God. And, anyone that loveth is of God and knoweth God.” 1 Jn 4:7


Reflection

Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love is used to peering into beautiful eyes, especially eyes that belong to Her Son and from the angels. Their eyes are brilliant, intelligent, and beautiful. They speak of friendship, love, kindness, and happiness. As Mary’s children we want also to have beautiful eyes for Our Lady to peer into. When she peers into our eyes, we want them to speak from the depths of our heart about our kindness toward others, and our love for Her and Jesus. We also want to keep them bright by reading Sacred Scripture, and reading holy books. We also want to stand guard over our eyes, and be careful only to view good things that would make Mary happy. Beautiful eyes are necessary for a more pleasing appearance, which will be a delight for our Holy Mother.


Daily Renewal Prayers

Jesus Be My Power

Jesus be my Power to say no,

and to stand firm on my no.

Jesus be my Power not to go along with peers,

who are off to do bad things.

Jesus be my Power to stand alone,

Jesus be my Power to know,

that when I do the right thing,

I please you and make a difference. Amen.

Sayings of St. Teresa of Jesus’s 

  • When we pray do not have a heart and mind with, “far away eyes.” Eyes whose attention have been stolen away by inventions that are far and distant. Mary delights in eyes whose gaze are directed toward Her.
  • Mary wants all of us to make Her Heart our home. A place where we can be ourselves with ease, and dialogue with Mary freely.
  • Marylove companions of the Immaculate Heart are her children who bask in the Sunshine of Her Love everyday.

Scripture Verse

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor: He hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart; to preach deliverance to the captives and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of reward.” Lk 4:18–19


Reflection

The Immaculate Heart of Mary is an island paradise that is All Love. Here is where there is an outflowing of Jesus’s Divine Love which makes everyone around us, including ourselves continually brand new. This fountain of Jesus waits for the searching, and the weary to come, so that they may drink deep of the water of seraphic quality that will inflame their hearts, and bring youthful rejuvenation. To drink from the fountain is only to increase our thirst for His Divine Love. As the living waters flow a blossoming of healings occur, and individuals are restored; and our outmoded ways of doing things are replaced. Unkindness becomes kindness, weakness becomes strength, and sadness becomes joy. His Love maintains us which is Himself; and He knows nothing else except Love. From Mary’s Island Paradise, Her children are empowered to be victorious against the pressures to do bad things, and they are protected from every danger.


Daily Renewal Prayers


Mary Capture Me for Yourself

but I need you to show me something,

that will help me to put

all of my trust and confidence in You.

For my part I promise,

to prepare a place in my heart for Jesus,

which I know will bring you much delight,

in granting my request. Amen.

and Jesus who dwells,

in your Heart in a special way.

However in times of trial,

remind me of my pledge,

and empower me,

in our true friendship to prevail, 

as we walk side by side, 

in the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

my passageway to Paradise. Amen.


As I Take Every Step with The Child King

My Dearest Child King of the Cathedral of Love,

I will Love, and I will worship you at every moment.

For the rest of my days, 

I shall contemplate your Majesty,

And experience your infinite Goodness and Love.

I will hold you so dear, 

So that I may experience,

The loveliness of your person, 

To treasure,

As I take every step. Amen


Renewal of Every Moment Prayer

I wish to make an ongoing renewal of every moment of my life. At this moment I give my whole heart, and all my love to you Jesus, and to you my Beautiful Mother of the Cathedral of Love. Amen.

Sayings of St. Teresa of Jesus’s 

  • In our little boat of prayer we must keep rowing forward. If we stop, the winds and the current of the world around us will push us backward.
  • Pray, do not worry, and having confidence in the Immaculate Heart of Mary is the most fragrant bouquet that we can give our Holy Mother.
  • The best way that we can spend our time is making God shine around us. Doing good and helping others is how we live in the brightness of Jesus working through us. 


Daily Devotional Exercise

Find a tennis ball. Next bounce and dribble it. And while you are doing so, say over and over: “Like a gazelle, so shall my heart shall leap after you my Jesus.”
