YES! I read about her one day, and as a joke thought “send ME a shower of roses St Therese!” Two days later my mother brought home two bouquets of coloured roses that a random man who was selling flowers gave to her for free because he couldn’t sell them. Our house was then full of roses everywhere! Never happened before… But when my mother brought those roses in I was overjoyed because I knew it was no coincidence.
I thanked God and St Therese and will never ‘joke’ about their Heavenly intercession again!

Allow me to add this:

“Sometimes things that seem to be coincidence are not coincidence and in fact true.”

So if one experiences any “grace from above” and it seems “fantastic” and upon careful reflection, it may not be a coincidence and in fact a prompting from Heaven as a consolation and affirmation that one is on the right path.

Be careful of private revelations because that way may lead one into error (the evil one works in half truths). For clarification, I suggest, as it has been told to me, to seek spiritual direction from a good and holy priest to help the Soul to understand what they are perceiving.

I hope this is helpful. 🙂
 
The above is very true but yes, I have received the roses after a novena or prayer for St Therese to intervene in a situation. And I do not normally receive or encounter roses.

It is a physical affirmation of a spiritual devotion. She said, “I will spend my time in heaven doing good on earth” as did other saints who suffered or who left us too early in life. I think God must allow them free reign in exchange for all of their trials and deeds.

I don’t think of the roses as a miracle anymore; just as a part of a conversation. Someone is out there saying, “Yes, you are heard.”
 
I did a novena to St. Therese in February. While driving to pick my son up from school, there were 7 red roses on the sidewalk! Coincidence? Doubtful…who just leaves 7 red roses on the sidewalk beside the road? I stopped and picked them up. St. Therese is my favorite and I find great comfort in her. Reading about her life makes me motivated to offer everything I do for Jesus. Every deed, joy, suffering, everything is for Him. She was a great example to us all.
 
Oh! I totally forgot about this one…I once was saying a novena to St. Therese when I received an email from my VERY anti-Catholic mother-in-law. It was a message with some inspirational quotes in it and such. Once I read them and scrolled to the bottom, it said that all the quotes in the message were St. Therese quotes AND there was a huge, multicolored rose and the very end. I may have found this coincidental if I had gotten that email from anyone other than my mother-in-law. To this day I have no idea why she sent it, since she is so adamantly against the Catholic Church.
 
I am 14 and I have prayed a novena to St. Therese wanting to know my vocation. How will I know when my prays have been answered? I have seen roses that were white today at Mass. Is this a sign?
