Imprint your image on my face.

Your face is my treasure,
I do not wish to care for any other, Lord.
I hide in it without fatigue
and long to resemble it!
Imprint your likeness on my face,
may I have every feature of yours on my face,
thus I will soon gain the holy radiance
and the human hearts that I give to you.

(Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, excerpt from the Canticle to the Divine Face, August 12, 1895,
translated by Anděla Janoušková)
