who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God forever and ever.

Collect at the General Intercessions
Almighty and ever-living Lord,
God of Israel,
who called Saint Teresa-Benedicta
to the light of the Gospel,
to the solitude of Carmel
and to the science of the Cross,
mercifully grant that we,
by turning to you in every tribulation,
may be refreshed with the living water promised by your Son,
and be numbered, with all your saints,
among those who worship you, according to your desire,
in spirit and in truth.
Through Christ our Lord.
