Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. ~Mother Teresa~

Reflections of St.Theresa ~

A friend of mine spotted this beautiful statue of St.Therese on Kijiji.
I inquired , no response, then after a few days I assumed she was SOLD...
But ...Faith has a way of surprising us.
St.Theresa found me ...



No touch-ups required...
She came perfect with the pedestal included... 



"For me, prayer is a surge
of the heart;
it is a simple look
turned toward heaven;
it is a cry of recognition
and of love, embracing
both trial and joy."
-St.Theresa





"Let us go forward in peace,
our eyes upon heaven,
the only one goal
of our labors."
-St Theresa



Before her death, St.Theresa said,
"I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth,
it will be like a shower of roses...
And you will find many consolations."

FIVE-DAY  NOVENA TO ST.THERESA

St.Theresa, the Little Flower,
please pick me a rose from the heavenly garden
and send it to me with a message of love.
Ask God to grant me the favour I implore.
And tell Him I will love Him daily more and more.

Pray 5 Hail Marys, 5 Our Fathers and 5 Glory' Be's


Blessings Lori

  6. I love this statue... I have this same one cast in a very heavy stone in my front yard. Her nose is a little chipped and I bought her on discount...but I love her all the same! She came home with me that day!

  7. BTW, did you know you have word verification turned on. Some people don't know. I didn't know until someone told me and then I turned it off...it makes it harder to get comments at linky parties.

  10. Hi Lori,
    I absolutely love St. Theresa and I am so very happy for you to receive the statue of her. She is so beautiful in your lovely home. I never saw your blog until this evening and I love it very much.
    Funny thing, right before I came to your site I read an email from someone who sent me a St. Theresa prayer...amazing things when you have faith.
    Blessings be yours,
    Anna

  12. Oh, Lori - your posts speak to my soul!! I love St. Theresa. This is the most amazing statue ever. It's beautiful positioned in front of the mirror. I also love all the white in your home.

    It's so funny because in two of my last three posts, my itsy bitsy St. Theresa's are showing - the mid century St. Theresa thermometer from a fuel company that hangs over my desk, and the small St. Theresa planter that sits on the jelly cupboard in my dining room.

    Thank you so much for sharing the prayers/blessings/quotations as well - a wonderful post!... Donna
