A Shower of Roses

I am a long time member of The Light Weigh, a spiritual weight loss and spiritual growth program. During part of our 12 week sessions we pray a novena to St. Therese of Liseaux. The copy of the novena that is provided to us includes a request for Therese to show us roses each day as a sign she is listening to us. I have seen roses in gardens, in bouquets, and on glassware, but the best was yesterday's manifestation. Late in the evening my husband was decorating a tree and I was wrapping up St. Nicholas gifts to send  to the post office. We had an Elvis Christmas CD on the player and I heard him singing a song about Roses. The chorus repeated that word over and over and that was how it got my attention. St. Therese and Elvis! What a duet!
