I have been praying for a special intention and received the following signs from St. Therese:<br />- 1st day of novena: I asked for a white rose and later that afternoon, when I was watching a documentary series, a white rose was shown<br />- Few days after, I feel so sad because I feel so hopeless but when I opened my social media, I saw a friend’s post with a white rose. I feel like it was from St. Therese<br />- After those incidents, I prayed to St. Therese to shower me with more roses (any color will do). The next weekend, while I was driving, the car behind me is tied up with a bouquet of red roses. It really feels surreal<br />- The same weekend, I was cleaning my room and borrowed my mom’s duvet cover. It was the first time I borrowed my mom’s duvet cover — I don’t know why but I just feel like I want to borrow from her and when she gave it to me, I was surprised to see that the design is full of roses. St. Therese really shower us with roses sometimes in an uncanny way :) <br />- Then one night, after praying to St. Therese, a former officemate named Therese sent me a message. It was the first time she sent me a message. I told her that it was timely cos I just finished my prayer to St. Therese and her name popped out. I am more surprised with what she told — that her mom named her after St. Therese! <br />- I went to St. Therese church on Dec 24 but was wondering why there are no roses at the altar. I even thought that perhaps she has showered me with so much roses and those are enough already. But when I went out the church, a little boy was selling white roses and offered it to me. I almost cried because those are the white roses I’ve been asking for! From that instance, I know that St. Therese continuously hears my prayer and that God is responding favourably. <br /><br />Apart from these, I have been also encountering the word “Rose” a lot of times. Though my prayer of reconciliation with a friend hasn’t been fully granted yet, there was already a progress and I believe that God will answer it at the right time in his way, and St. Therese will continue to intercede for me.

Holy Spirit,...Miraculous Prayer to the Holy Spirit<br /><br />Holy Spirit, you who makes me see everything and shows me the way to reach my ideal, you who gives me the divine gift to forgive and forget all the wrong that is done to me and you who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything, and affirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desires may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. To that end and submitting to God’s holy will, I ask form you… (mention your favour). Amen<br /><br /><br />This prayer should be said for 3 consecutive days. After the 3rd day, your sincere wish will be granted no matter how difficult it may be. Promise to offer thanksgiving by sharing it and expressing it on granting of your favour. The idea is to spread the wonder of the Holy Spirit.<br />Ariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647286772018795383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-55504292649007168472018-03-19T18:27:39.082-10:002018-03-19T18:27:39.082-10:00Dear anonymous.

In the ...Thank you for sharing this, sister Esther. In the next few weeks, the RCIA class will be learning about the Sacraments. It will help me to show the catechumens and candidates how beautiful and important this great sacrament is.<br /><br />We talked about misperceptions of the Church this past Monday and this subject came up. I pray that God will use me to show the students not to be afraid of this Sacrament. I couldn't go into too much depth because of the lesson plan, but I told them to think of it like this:<br /><br />Imagine if there were no mirrors in the world. You couldn't look yourself in the eye and with the grace of God see your pain and suffering. I asked them to imagine how the world would be like. Then I went on to say that an examination of conscience is like looking into a mirror where we face ourselves, see our wounds, and go to the Doctor for His infinite mercies.<br /><br />I hope that sufficed for the class until we hit the lesson on Sacraments.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09823556438100985813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-219551247483053302015-01-28T08:40:36.906-10:002015-01-28T08:40:36.906-10:00This comment has been removed by the author.EC Gefrohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821950576683551325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-9127434002477672972015-01-15T18:28:03.506-10:002015-01-15T18:28:03.506-10:00Jackie, you are welcome!

I have lost most of my family due to them not wanting to speak to me and I have never met either my niece or nephew. I have not worked in two years and I only earn enough to pay rent in low-income. I can't seem to finish rehab though I've been there twice. I dropped out of college twice. I lived in a halfway house and a homeless shelter. Seems every time I get "done" with all that, I go back "out". My boyfriend is about to dump me. I can't seem to keep a sponsor. I try to go to church but I keep losing the faith. Please, someone pray for me. I'm not sure what prayer to say here and I am just in need of as much prayer as possible. Please. I don't want my "bottom" to keep getting worse. I just pray that someone reads this and prays for me or something.
