Today is the Feast of St. Thérèse de Lisieux.
I call upon her intercession today in a special way, for myself and for my benefactors.

One of my two 1st class relics of St. Thérèse, to whom I am grateful.
St. Therese probably saved my priesthood back when I was in seminary and it was “Ioannes contra mundum”. What a sick sick place and time. What a beautiful saint and powerful intercessor.
I have roses in my apartment tonight.
Moses approves even as he scrutinizes.
























Dear Fr. Z,
Blessed Feast of St. Therese! Beautiful roses!
And, riffing on a bit of popular nonsense verse, “Moses, he knowses, that thoses are roses.”
She’s been looking after me for a long time. It was heartening to be reminded of her feast day today, as I have a huge, urgent prayer intention for her intercession.
So thankful she did!
St Therese, Fr Z and the roses. Smiles for all.
Saint Therese of the Roses !!!
How lovely.
