3 October: St. Therese – thank you

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.”

  2. 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.
