Kissed by a Rose: The Story of My Personal Encounters with Saint Therese of Lisieux

By Angela Blanchet

This book is positively uplifting, beautiful and spiritual. Kim Coluccio


It is not uncommon for people to pray to saints for their intercessions. In fact, many people have a patron saint that they are devoted to. There have been numerous accounts of healings and miracles performed by saints throughout history.

Kissed By A Rose is an astonishing true account of the authors visitations from Saint Therese of Lisieux, The Little Flower. Unaware of who she was at the time, Saint Therese appeared to her with a message and a mission that could not be ignored.
