There are SO many!! A couple favorites include: “Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.” ~ St. Therese; “Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.” ~ St. Francis of Assisi
12. Favorite Holy Card?
I love this particular St. Therese holy card… Hubby and I had it personalized with our names, our wedding date, and the novena to St. Therese and gave it to all the guests at our wedding! When hubby and I were dating… I said a novena to St. Therese, and asked for a sign if he was the one I was meant to marry. Part of the novena says: “Pick me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me with a message of love…” Anyhow, on the last day of the novena, March 17, 1999, I opened the door of my apartment on my way to work, and found a single red rose from Sean! He didn’t know that I had been saying the novena, and it was also the very first flower he had ever given me! I just love St. Therese!

To Heaven though the Window about St. Gerard Majella
