On Sunday morning there was a single white rose on the grave of Pope Franciscus. This flower had a special meaning for Francis, as it once explained. Since his time in Argentina, she has symbolized his connection with the St. Thérèse von Lisieux (1873-1897).
He always turned to Thérèse and her intercession with God with personal difficulties.
Already on Saturday before the funeral in the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, both children and homeless people, migrants, victims of human trafficking, transsexuals, prisoners and representatives of the Roma community brought white roses. A special moving image shows a homeless person that mourns a white rose on the fence of the Vatican around Francis – a sign of how much the people in Rome loved him.
Almost always a white rose as a plate
“If I have a problem,” Jorge Bergoglio said, “I ask the saint not to solve it, but to take it in her hand and to help me accept it.”
As a board he almost always receives a white rose. So there were often white roses in a vase in his apartment in Buenos Aires and in Santa Marta in the Vatican. He recently received them after his return from the Gemelli clinic.
Thérèse from Lisieux is one of the most popular saints of the Catholic Church. At the age of 15 she entered the strict Carmel in Lisieux and was looking for a sanctification of daily life. Pius XI. said Therese 1925 holy; She has been the most important patron of the missions since 1927 and has been the second patron of France alongside Jeanne d’Arc since 1944. In 1997, at her 100 -year anniversary, Pope John Paul II named the “Teacher of the Church”.
