White rose on the grave: The sign of Saint Theresa who "heard" the Pope
2025-04-27 16:04:52 / BOTA
Pope Francis had a special connection with Saint Therese of Lisieux, the Carmelite mystic, whom he considered an intercessor for seeking graces and accepting his difficulties.
Throughout his life and papacy, the Pope indicated that, when he had a problem, he prayed to Saint Teresa not to solve it, but to accept it. As a sign, he always received a white rose. This symbol of his connection with Saint Teresa accompanied the Pope even after his death, with a white rose placed on his tomb in the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, indicating the continuity of his devotion to the saint.
This ritual began when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires and continued throughout his papacy, including important moments such as the prayer for peace in Syria in 2013 and the gift of a white rose he received after his hospitalization.
