Meditative reflection Day 12, Dec 9 2025
Every month, there’s a narrow window which opens up to St. Therese, of Lisieux. It is from the 9th to 17th of each month. Devotees are praying a 5 day novena to St. Therese. How does anyone know she has listened and is working to grant a petition? A legendary story says the devotee will receive or see something significant that is white color. Like a white rose, white feather, person dressed in white etc.
I believe that a novena to St. Therese will work. However, the results are of varying degrees of response.
Last night, I couldn’t fall asleep for 2 hours. By 12:25 mn, I decided to eat Melatonin. It was so effective I went out like a light, after some minutes. The next time I woke, it was 6:45 am. It is rare to get sleep for a stretch of 6 hours. Hurray!
The night watchers maybe easing up just a little. They’ve heard that we’ve hired painters to give the internal a fresh coat. The fun stage will be choosing the right furniture for the right rooms. I like cosy rooms.
It is difficult talking to family who has crippling illness and furthermore, does not share responsibilities, but can take off elsewhere. It looks like selective application of disability.
