Prayer of St. Theresa

Thanks, Amy, for sending me this prayer today. It's called the prayer of St. Theresa, but I don't know which one of the Theresa's! Anyway, here it is:
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into our bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of you.
AMEN. Posted by hessma at August 24, 2005 05:18 PM

This is almost certainly not by St. Theresa "The Little Flower" to whom it is attributed. It is too "New Age". See here for some of Theresa's real prayers, which are much more about suffering for her sins than being in exactly the right place!
