Sign From St. Therese?

[WoundedIcon]

I was praying that St. Therese send me roses if I was called to become Byzantine Catholic. I looked down at one of my band tees and suddenly realized there was roses on it, but I forgot which rite they signified. So I began the five day Novena. There was a mention of roses on one saint’s bio online… but that wasn’t enough to convince me to make such a huge change. Then one day my grandma took me to the lake park before Divine Liturgy. We were walking around and my grandma was like “Oh a rose garden!” Yeah, turns out there’s a huge honkin’ rose garden that we had forgotten about at that park. So I was wondering… should I just drop my doubts and finally freakin’ listen and become Byz. Catholic?

Yes. In my experience, she just keeps sending them. That’s not to say that if you keep doubting that you will continue to get signs, but it’s been like that for me.

I prayed for roses (in any form) on my vocation. If I am called to priesthood, I desired roses as sort of a “final answer.”

The fourth day of the novena I attend a Eucharistic Adoration/concert thing, and I saw a red rose right next to the tabernacle. There weren’t any other roses around it. Then they were burning incense, and it was Damascus Rose incense!

As if that wasn’t enough, the week thereafter I got a birthday note from a friend, and she explained how she was so sorry for not getting me a card. I looked on the back, and St. Therese’s picture was on it! I was stunned. The quote on the note is what my signature is.

I’m about to call it quits and just accept it. Doubts get the best of me. Oh how Satan loves to use my weaknesses against me.

Interesting question. Have you researched B Catholic? I, personally, don’t know much about anything except Latin Rite (and even that, not so much ). Say lots of prayers. Attend some B Catholic masses. Speak to those who are B Catholic. You will find that you are drawn to it or not.

I just came in here randomly and have been feeling bad because I have let the Lord down in a big way for some time and because of this I am hurting financially and I feel like I am so far from him, then I read your post and saw your signature. I think I was meant to see it. I just had to let you know. God bless.

Aw. God bless! I’m so glad that it helped.

Here’s just another few words of encouragement:

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11

I hope that everything turns around for the better.

I think so, a sign from her.

She is one I often call on her intercession. There are times I have not yet to say her name out loud yet something good happens for those in my life that need prayers for any reason.
