I had a dream of St. Therese of Lisieux last night. I just saw her face, and it looked like one of her photographs that pops up when you google her name…That’s pretty much it, but there is a long background/history to this…
Late April this past year, I was going through a hard time with regards to a situation with a male friend whom I had previously dated but remained friends with after that dating period ended. The last weekend that April I sat in Mass and my eyes kept being drawn to her stained glass window. I had asked for her help and intercession in the past but had not asked her to pray for me in a long time about this situation. But that Sunday, it was almost like she told me that she would handle the situation between me and this guy friend, and that it was easy for her…I just kept hearing, “I’ll take care of it, trust me, trust me.” My friend had grown distant from me in the last few weeks, and I was really having a hard time with it and it confused me…so this experience at Mass provided me with peace.
She remained on my mind during the following week and I asked a close friend named Theresa how much she knew about St. Therese, and she said, “That’s funny you ask that, I was just reading about her and she was beatified on April 29th…” I was shocked and checked my calendar and realized that April 29th was the day I was sitting in the church and my eyes just kept being drawn towards her. That same week, I was at an adoration chapel and I happened to stumble across a picture of her that someone that dropped on the floor, with something written in Polish on the back, and what looks like a piece of fabric enclosed in it. Translated online, it says, "relic of St. Therese of the Child Jesus.’ I was astonished at these coincidences, and I really believe it was her relic. I keep it with me in my wallet wherever I go now.
Well, in June this past year, so about a month and a half later, my friend came back to me and apologized for the way he had been acting, saying he was sorry to have grown distant. We became close friends again. However, in the last month, this situation has gotten confusing again. When we first dated a year ago, he didn’t want to make it official because of the age gap (I am 6 years older and out of college, while he is still in college)…so we decided to remain friends. However, sometimes in the last few months, my friend and I would wind up stepping past the line of friends and getting physical (kissing), only to make things confusing since he is not ready to commit. We don’t seem to know what to do about this whole situation. This overstepping the line has happened again in the last week, and I’m not sure if the dream of St. Therese has something to do with my relationship with him, or what…I do think she’s trying to communicate something to me… but with regards to what, I’m not 100% sure. I’m a bit confused.
Thoughts and prayers appreciated!
