NOVENA OF THE ROSES

“I will spend my Heaven doing good on earth. I will bring down a shower of roses "(Santa Teresa)

Father Putigan on December 3 1925, he began a novena asking for an important grace. To find out if he was being answered, he asked for a sign. He wished to receive a rose as a guarantee of having obtained grace. He didn't say a word to anyone about the novena he was doing. On the third day, he received the requested rose and obtained the pardon. Another novena began. He received another rose and another grace. Then he made the decision to spread the "miraculous" novena called roses.
