Being the Patron Saint of Florists, Saint Therese has always been a favorite of mine. Your art is beautiful!!

Hello rebecca dear,
She is beautiful because her heart is lovely and pure as is yours. St. Theresa, as you may remember, was my mother's patron saint, and it was her middle name. When she passed,I ordered little flowers for the memorial service, little pink roses, and white flowers for that reason. She too was a scatterer, like you. Thank you for this beauty and for the love you share. I will write to you today at your infusion.
Love,
Noelle

what an endearing post!
Since I grew up in a house full of Mary, I always felt comfortable with her and she was my mom too!
I posted some decorations I made years ago. They were made to honor the reason of Christmas and make it real.

St. Theresa was my mothers favorite. Of the Carmelite order, and our upbringing at Mt. Carmel church. It was all connected. St. Theresa had a place in our home. Have you any idea how we wait patiently every day for you to put up the link for us to share with the others? I had doctors appointments today as well and posted late in the day. I was so anxious to get home to see Day 6. Just wonderful.
Peace

did you know, that St. Therese was there with me when I went through my radiation treatment? yes. and afterwards, I was blessed enough to be able to view her relics.. a miracle occured that day.
I am holding you in my heart xo
