Need help praying to St Therese for more clarity.

I have been praying to St Therese for some time now and doing her Novena’s. I have a special person in my live who I would love a serious commited relationship with one day. We are dating but he hasn’t asked me to be his girlfriend or to be exclusive. We are both middle age (in our 50’s). I’ve been praying to St Therese to bring me a good husband and to make it clear to me who this person is and that I will have no doubts.

I want to ask her or can I ask her …if it is this man…that I will get a call for an invite to a date on Valentine’s and have roses in hand?! Is that prayer intention over the top?

I have seen pink roses associated with him after I pray.

My youngest daughter had the urge to buy me a pink rose for my birthday. She said that she was driving to school one day and had the desire to stop in the gas station and buy me a single rose. They had one pink rose and she got that one!

Another time recently…after a date with a very special person in my life, I stop in a coffee shop to grab a coffee and used their restroom. There sits a beautiful bouquet of pink roses on the sink!

Another time, I was getting a pedicure and was chatting on the phone to one of my daughtys about me and this special person and how St Therese will make it clear to me, if it’s really him that is my person. Then…as I was drying under the nail dryer, the nail tech guy handed me a pen that had a fake pink rose attached to the end of it! To top it off…the nail tech guys name was the same name as this special person in my life that I would love a relationship with! Wow!

The only problem, I’m not hearing verbally this confirmation - from HIM. So can I continue to pray and ask for more detail clarity from St Therese?

Thank you all! 🌹
 
I enjoyed hearing about all of these little circumstances with roses; very interesting! I think it would be more than okay to continue praying and asking for more detail clarity. I don’t think that your prayer intention is over the top as you had mentioned. We can talk to God or the saints (St. Therese) about anything. I feel like God likes it too when we have faith and are bold in prayer. Just pray that God’s will may also be done.

Also remember that these things may not happen right away. Sometimes, we have to be patient and wait for God’s perfect timing. I know that in my own life when I have asked God for clarity, He has always provided. In the same way, I think that God will clearly show you who the right person is for you when He wants you to know.

Keep on praying and I’ll be praying for you too!

Thank you! That was helpful and I hope I can report good news on this matter- after the weekend!!
 
Saint Thérèse is a favorite saint of mine, too.

Just keep in mind that discernment is a complicated thing. Sometimes we have “confirmation bias” and look for affirmation of what we want to believe. Sometimes the adversary may send an apparently “positive sign” to mislead. And of course, there are divine signs.

Saints work in harmony with the will of God. The best course of action is to surrender to God’s will in your life. Keep paying attention, and continue to learn about discernment.

A great resource is Father Timothy Gallagher’s podcasts Discerning the Will of God. (Free from Discerning Hearts website). He is an excellent, practical teacher. His process is designed for just this sort of question!

I’ll pray for you to find the answers you seek and ask St Thérèse’s intercession.🌹🌹🌹
 
Thank you! Great advice once again! I wlll keep you posted and looking up that priest on “God’s will”!
 
I love St. Therese too, but I get the feeling you are looking for a lot of little signs to confirm what you want to hear.

How about you just take the bull by the horns and, over coffee, tell this special man that you have been dating for a while (I assume this is the case) and that you would like to know where you stand with him, as you are seeking a committed relationship. Of course, if you have only just started dating within the last couple of months, then it’s probably too early to know anything, and you would have to date a bit longer and then perhaps ask him.

The man’s reaction should hopefully clarify your question much better than hoping to see roses here and roses there and get a call for a date.

I agree! Yes- I feel it’s a bit too early in dating, so I’ll wait a bit longer.

I will eventually do this…the roses are nice too!
 
I will say…I do think St Therese has shown she is listening by sending me those pink roses. That’s not a coincidence.
 
13years ago I prayed the 9days novena to St. Therese praying for a personal request. Several days, as i opened my cabinet in the office I found a white plastic bag full of dried petals of roses. I dont k ow where it came from then I realized that was the answer to my prayer and I thought it means that my request is not meant for me. Until now I wanna know what does it mean.
