This lovely walking or “pocket” decade Rosary tells the story of the St. Thérèse and her “Shower of Roses.” It features a beautiful heart-shaped bronze medal with roses on the front and one of St. Thérèse’s most famous sayings on the back in French, “Je veux passer mon ciel à faire du bien sur la terre,” ~ “I want to spend my heaven in doing good upon earth.”
She promised her Sisters that after her death she would let fall a Shower of Roses upon the earth, meaning graces from Heaven, for all those who called upon her assistance. She taught a special, yet simple and ordinary, “Little Way” to go to Jesus, which she said was a way that was “all love.”
Her namesake, the Child Jesus, is featured on the other medal in a beautiful representation of the “Infant King” as she liked to call him, and one of her favorite images where He is pointing to His Heart with one hand and to Heaven with the other, to show us as she said the way to Heaven through His Heart.&nb
