"As a lifelong fan of St. Therese, I offer an enthusiastic
"thumbs up!" for Shower of Heavenly Roses. The stories
of her intercessions range from tender to stunning, and involve
such ordinary people that any reader will feel right at home.
Author Elizabeth Ficocelli has done a wonderful job helping us
get to know this thoroughly modern saint."
--- Joan Wester Anderson, author of Where Angels Walk
and In The Arms Of Angels

After going through the story of the Prodigal Son, a Sunday school
teacher asked the kids, “At the end of the story who is
it that ended up in the worst situation?” One of the kids
shot up her hands and answered, “The fatted cow.”

_____________
A man bought several acres of wasteland and within
a year, turned it into a thriving produce farm. The local priest
stopped by and complimented the man on his vast progress. Then
he added, "Wondrous things can surely happen when man and
God work together."
"Amen," said the man, "but you should've seen the
place when God was running it alone."

A farmer runs into the pastor of his church after
missing the morning Mass. "I missed you at Mass this morning,"
the pastor says.
"Well, Father", the farmer says, "I had some hay
to put up. I figured it was better to sit on a bale of hay thinking
about God than to sit in church thinking about hay."

One night a little boy's parents overheard this
prayer...
"Now I lay me down to rest, and hope to pass tomorrow's test,
if I should die before I wake, that's one less test I have to
take."
