St. Theresa and our family

If you spoken with either Loretta and I about our marriage, you have heard the story of how St. Theresa answered our prayers about being together in what we consider a special way through a gift of "roses" given to us after prayer at St. Leo's Abbey. I always from childhood had an affinity for her because she spoke of God in simple terms and spoke of getting to heaven in a little easy way. At any rate we have lived our lives together and have shared our story and tried to direct devotion to her in our lives and homes. Meghan our eldest daughter is Meghan Theresa for that reason. After Lily her daughter was born and just recently as I contemplated how pretty her name was I realised another special gift regarding Lily. Lily as everyone knows is the name of a Flower and as I considered that I realised that again Theresa had gifted our family by giving us another "Little flower". Lily Victoria is our newest Little flower and again I thanked St. Therese for her blessings in our family.
