Roses Fall Where Rivers Meet
Reprint of the original 1937 edition by Carmelite Father Albert Dolan. A description of the Little Flower's "Shower of Roses."
This unique book presents an intriguing idea of God's love for St. Therese and her love for Him as two rivers descending and mounting until they mingle and form the "shower of roses" which the Little Flower promised to let fall on earth.
Gathered here from Father Dolan's famous novena retreats are gems from the Little Flower's "Autobiography," facts about her childhood and family, and selections of her poetry and prayers. "Roses Fall Where Rivers Meet" is a veritable guidebook for souls wishing to follow St. Therese's path to heaven.
No one, however tepid in their faith, can know the Little Flower without being profoundly affected spiritually and inspired in some measure to imitate her. "Roses Fall..." masterfully defines and delivers the spirit of St. Therese's "Little Way" in a manner that is at once childlike and profound and, most importantly, accessible to all.
