Almost there! Therese has had a difficult time, but she declined the C-section and is now in active labor. The Little Flower is like a general still setting up timetables. 1909: My great-grandfather and grandfather visit her grave within the grounds of the Carmel. 1946: My grandfather Dan publishes a book of poetry dedicated to Therese. 1954: I'm born on Therese's birthdate, January 2, though 9 weeks early. My parents name me in her honor. 1977: My conversion back to the Faith occurs while attending a parish dedicated to the Little Flower. 1984: Our firstborn, Benjamin, is born on her feastday, October 1. 1993: My guardian angel tells me Geralyn is pregnant with a girl and we are to name her Therese. 2019: My daughter, Therese, gives birth to her and Johnny's firstborn on the anniversary of St. Therese's death, September 30. And on it goes! St. Therese, pray for all the needs of the members of MOG!
Alleluia! Baby John Isaac Manidis was born at 11:05 am EST 9/30/19. Everyone is doing well. Thank you for your prayers! He weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz. Picture to follow! Safe in the Father's Arms!
I am so sorry to hear this. Offering up mass tomorrow. ...sending my angel guardian to Padre Pio to tug his sleeve.
