Jesus, Please Send Me a Rose

Meet Fiona, Ronan and their dog, Murphy! They know a secret about prayer and special miracles in the flower garden. Fiona’s grandma teaches her a special prayer to St. Therese, the Little Flower. Grandma tells Fiona to say this prayer whenever there is a special need for herself, someone she loves or for anyone who needs help. After the death of her grandma, Fiona remembers the prayer to St. Therese. She says the prayer and asks St. Therese to let her know her grandma is okay in heaven, and that she still loves her. Throughout the fall, winter and into spring, Fiona and Ronan experience a mysterious adventure, which teaches them about faith, prayer, hope, and love.
