Today I realized that Saint Therese of Lisieux wants my attention.
Over the past semester she has been popping up all over the place. Several of my friends read or are reading her "Story of a Soul." Father Joe gave a talk on Pre-The retreat about how she showed up to an exorcism once, beating back demons with a cross of roses. A few times after rosary, her name would pop into my head along with those of Saints Maximilian Kolbe and Padre Pio, two of my favorite intercessors. And now that I'm home, I realize that our guest bedroom has a tapestry with her image on it! To think she has been in our house for years and I just now notice her hanging on the wall, standing in holy light with an armful of pink roses and a crucifix.
I'll have to get a copy of her diary and ask for her intercession more often. We'll see what happens!
