WATER of the

ROSES FROM THE HEAVENLY GARDEN
OF THERESE ...

... Roses, nourished by the water of the garden of Eden. How many times have we asked for a rose from Therese of Lisieux, the 'Little Flower', one of the roses that she said she would send down to earth from heaven after her death? And, out of the blue, a rose comes into our life! It brings a special smile of gratitude to know that heaven is not all that far away! + A POWERFUL MIX OF JASPER AND LAVA SEEM TO TALK TO THE EARTH WHERE THE FLOWERS GROW + GENESIS 2:8-10 8 Then the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and he placed there the man whom he had formed. 9 Out of the ground the LORD God made various trees grow that were delightful to look at and good for food, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. 10 A river rises in Eden to water the garden; beyond there it divides and becomes four branches. + SHE CARRIES A CRUCIFIX FOR US This rosary bears a cross of roses and in the center of it, Theresa carries the crucifix in her arms for us. The brown Lava Paters symbolize the Carmelites who wear brown since they are to be reminded of the cross of Christ. Brown, the color of the humble earth out of which the red roses grow. Rough like the brown wool of their habit. |

13 Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; 14 but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." |

Faceted stones of carnelian give life to the brown lava Pater beads symbolizing the earth out of which the flowers will grow. And the image of Theresa carrying the crucifix is seen in the middle of the cross of roses. A beautiful reminder of the one who loves Jesus and sends roses to remind us of him.

2 God indeed is my savior; I am confident and unafraid. My strength and my courage is the LORD, and he has been my savior. 3 With joy you will draw water at the fountain of salvation, 4 and say on that day: Give thanks to the LORD, acclaim his name; among the nations make known his deeds, proclaim how exalted is his name. |

This is the one who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and blood. The Spirit is the one that testifies, and the Spirit is truth. 7 So there are three that testify, 8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and the three are of one accord. |
