15 October: In festo S Teresiæ Virginis, Matris Nostræ

Dear herald of our King!
Thou didst Thy home in childhood leave,
Intending to barbaric lands
Christ or thy blood to give. 

But thee a sweeter death awaits;
A nobler fate is thine;
Wounded by point of heavenly dart,
To die of love divine. 

Virgin of perfect charity!
Our souls wit love inspire;
And save the nations of thy charge
From everlasting fire. 

Praise to the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Spirit be;
Three in One
Through all eternity.
Amen.

--1st Vespers hymn for the feast of S Teresa of Avila
   in the Stanbrook Abbey translation.

Sancta Mater Teresia, respice de cælo, et vide,
et visita vineam istam et perfice eam, quam     
plantavit dextera tua!
-Ad. Bened.
