Roses From Heaven

I am catholic. Before I tell this story, since it involves a saint, let me clear up a misconception that many Non-Catholics have about us. I do not worship Saints or anyone above Jesus Christ. We use saints as intercessory prayer partners, much as we ask each other to pray for our individual intentions. St Theresa was a young nun who died at an early age. She was a very good person who loved the Lord with all her heart. She did much to help others during her life and I was saying a prayer, asking her to pray for my brother when I received the following miracle from God. "Saint Theresa of the little flower Jesus, please pick me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me with as a message of God's love. Ask him to grant me the favor I implore, and tell Him I will love Him each day more and more." Many times when praying with St. Theresa, she will send you a rose. It has happened many times before. While I was saying this prayer someone will give me a rose. It may sound silly to some people but it does happen I had been praying very hard for my brother Greg to return to church. He was killed, murdered before my prayers were answered. He was only 28 years old. I was very upset of course and forgot all about looking for my rose. A friend came by and brought me a white milkglass candle holder. It took me several days to realize there were roses carved into the glass. The day I noticed them I counted them. There were 28! It was very comforting. Mary
