St. Therese of Lisieux Comments
Generations of Catholics have admired this young saint, called her the "Little Flower", and found in her short life more inspiration for own lives than in volumes by theologians. Yet Therese died when she was 24, after having lived as cloistered Carmelite for less than ten years. She never went on missions, never founded a religious order, never performed great works. The only book of hers, published after her death, was an brief ... Continue Reading

A comment or two regarding receiving a form of communication from St Therese(The little Flower). About 15 years back I had been driving to work one cold and damp morning thinking about a family member who had a medical problem and was noticable when looking at that family member.
Moments later I was about to enter the intersection on a fresh green light when it suddenly changed to red appearing to skip the amber light. My car with all windows closed this cold damp morning filled with the rich aroma of Roses, and my attention at that time was drawn to face my left drivers window and noticed where I suddenly came to a fast stop, stood an old Catholic church which I had passed many times. When I started to drive drive away after the light turned green the rich smell of roses then faded. Within a week or so my family member who had a medical problem showed the problem no more.
A couple of weeks later I mentioned to my wife what appeared to be a dream of a slanted floor down to the pulpit so when we attended for the first time at that church and to both our suprise it did have a flloor that decened down to mentioned pulpIt area. from outside the foundation is straight across but was inside as my dream had shown
On that day we became acquainted to the statue of St. Theresa who allowed us to find her there and one might assume that may be the reason both matters spoken about did happen. From that day forth we continue have her in our steps of life
saint therese please shower us with roses today as answered preyers.thankls
Recently my 96 year old mother-in-law was in agony as she was passing from this life to eternal life. As I sat praying the rosary by her bedside, four of the staff at the nursing facility where she resided came into see her....thinking she would pass before they came back on their next shift. As we sat there pretty much silent one of the women who was standing noticed an aroma of fresh roses.....I didn't smell it at first but one by one each of the women began to smell the fragrant smell of the roses....and then I noticed it get stronger over my mother-in-law, each of the women went around the room and down a hall way to see if the smell was coming from somewhere....it was not! It lingered over my mother-in-law for a several minutes and as it came it was gone. This was truly a blessing from St. Theresa no question in my mind.
Knowing that others might not believe this had happened one by one these women came in the room to confirm what they had witnessed....she finally passed away the next day...for me it was a miracle for my mother-in-law that her suffering would be coming to an end. I thank God everyday for this tremendous blessing that I was able to witness.
Thank you, St. Theresa
I love St. Therese! She is going to be my confirmation saint. She really inspires me in everything I do.
Saint Therese is going to be my saint for conformation. She is such an inspiration and I'm happy I chose her. She really is a little flower.
My Dearest Little Flower, where do I begin to thank you for the countless blessings and graces the Risen Lord showered me from my early age. I look forward to the future with the confidence of knowing that with you at my side there is no challenge too big for us to take on nor will we ever be paralysed by any obsticle or obstruction in our life's path, we'll find a way around them come rain, hail or shine. I know you possess a great love of souls, but you reserve special love and devotion for souls who are unloved and unwanted, lost and lonely souls. Timmy is such a soul who is unloved and unwanted, lost and lonely soul desperate to be embrased and adopted like a bruised and unwanted puppy. Timmy was born on Sunday, 4th April 1976, to a Finnish family who immigrated to Sydney, Australia in 1970. Timmy's father was a hopeless alcoholic who drank his wages in filthy pubs and his mother a sober and hardworking woman struggling to feed her family of 6 on a small salary working as a housecleaner for a wealthy but kind Jewish lady in the affluent Sydney suburb of Elizabeth Bay. Life was a daily battle to get by and make it through to tomorrow, back than there was no social welfare system that prevents it happening. Timmy was 16 years old when his elder brother, a hopeless heroin addict, talked him into smoking heroin telling him that smoking heroin wasn't addictive as it was same as smoking majriuana. It didn't take too long for Timmy to develop a $400 a day heroin habit. In 2004 after many years of heroin abuse and living a life worst than that of the wild beasts Timmy was admitted into treatment and until 13 months ago lived a clean life with a well paid job, played sport and restored classic BMW cars 1962-1965 series with great success, life was fantastic. He met and fell madly in love with a spunky young girl (22 years old) who is a heroin addict and now Timmy is sleeping on park benches and soliciting coins from pedestrians and patron in pubs. Timmy wants to commit suicide and twice already he was saved by the skin of his teeth from death. Timmy's life is a self inflicted HELL, heroin hell, and he possesses no hope of breaking out of the gates of HELL. My Sweet Little Flower, where there is life there is hope so please adopt Timmy's miserable and tormented life and storm Heaven to deliver Timmy safely back to his terrified and torn family. AMEN
