Francis considers the flower to be a \u201csign\u201d linked to the devotion of the saint. The Archbishop of Ancona and Osimo, Edoardo Menichelli broke the news, with Francis authorisation…<\/p>\n \u201cThe Pope told me he received the freshly-picked white rose out of the blue from a gardener as he was taking a stroll in the Vatican Gardens on Sunday 8 September,\u201d Mgr. Menichelli said. \u201cThe Pope sees this flower as a \u201csign\u201d, a \u201cmessage\u201d from Saint Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of Lisieux, whom he had turned to in a moment of worry the day before.\u201d…<\/p>\n Bergoglio mentions it in \u201cEl Jesuita\u201d<\/em> (\u201cThe Jesuit\u201d), a book interview written by Sergio Rubin and Francesca Ambrogetti when he was still a cardinal. In a description the two journalists give of Bergoglio\u2019s library in Buenos Aires, they write: \u201cWe pause before a vase full of white roses standing on a shelf in the library. In front of it is a photograph of Saint Th\u00e9r\u00e8se. \u201cWhenever I have a problem,\u201d Bergoglio explained to the journalists, \u201cI ask the saint not to solve it, but to take it into her hands and to help me accept it and I almost always receive a white rose as a sign.\u201d Pope Francis\u2019 devotion for the Carmelite mystic who died at the young age of 24 in 1897, was canonized by Pius XI\u00a0 and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by John Paul II in 1997, is common knowledge. \u00a0http:\/\/vaticaninsider.lastampa.it\/en\/the-vatican\/detail\/articolo\/28151\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n We are increasingly learning about supposedly ‘signs’ associated with Pope Francis.\u00a0 This should give pause to those those in the real Church of God:<\/p>\n 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.\u00a0 25 See, I have told you beforehand. (Matthew 24:24-25; cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Pope Francis is a big promoter of Mary as well as the apparition in Fatima. He consecrated his pontificate to ‘Mary and even further had his pontificate consecrated to the Lady of Fatima (Pope Francis\u2019 pontificate consecrated to \u2018Lady of Fatima\u2019<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of Lisieux is popularly known as “The Little Flower of Jesus” or “The Little Flower.”\u00a0 She was declared a Catholic saint in 1925 and ‘doctor of the church’ in 1997.\u00a0 She claimed to be healed of an illness after gazing a statute that was supposed to be ‘Mary.’ \u00a0She reported on 13 May 1883 that she had seen the Virgin smile at her (Wikipedia).\u00a0 I have reported about her in the past (see The Catholic Therese of Lisieux<\/a>) and her remains have been viewed by millions.<\/p>\n The ‘Marian’ connection between Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of Lisieux and Pope Francis is of interest.\u00a0 Pope Francis remains a ‘person of interest’ as far as either being the final Antichrist who will end up betraying the Church of Rome or at least setting the stage for the one who will be.<\/p>\n Some items of related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the Apparitions<\/a> Do you know much about Mary?

\nPope Francis: Could this Marian Focused Pontiff be Fulfilling Prophecy?<\/a> Pope Francis has taken many steps to turn people more towards his version of \u2018Mary.\u2019 Could this be consistent with biblical and Catholic prophecies? This article documents what has been happening. There is also a video version titled Pope Francis: Could this Marian Focused Pontiff be Fulfilling Prophecy?<\/a>
\n<\/a> Feast of the Immaculate Conception?<\/a> Did early Christians teach Mary had an immaculate conception and led a sinless life?
\nOrigin of the Marian Dogmas: <\/a>Where Do Catholic Scholars Say The Four Dogmas of Mary Came From?
\nAssumption of Mary<\/a> Did Mary die? Was she taken to heaven on August 15th? What is known? What does the Bible show?
\nCould Pope Francis be the Last Pope and Antichrist?<\/a> According to some interpretations of the prophecies of the popes by the Catholic saint and Bishop Malachy, Pope Francis I is in the position of “Peter the Roman,” the pontiff who reigns during tribulations until around the time of the destruction of Rome. Do biblical prophecies warn of someone that sounds like Peter the Roman? Could Francis I be the heretical antipope of Catholic private prophecies and the final Antichrist of Bible prophecy? This is a YouTube video.
\nThe Malachy Prophecies and \u201cPeter the Roman\u201d<\/a> An Irish bishop allegedly predicted something about 112 popes in the 12th century. Pope Benedict XVI was number 111. Francis would seem to be number 112–if he is that one–and if so, he is to reign until Rome is destroyed. May he be an antipope\/final Antichrist?
\nWhich Is Faithful: The Roman Catholic Church or the Continuing<\/em> Church of God?<\/a> Do you know that both groups shared a lot of the earliest teachings? Do you know which church changed? Do you know which group is most faithful to the teachings of the apostolic church? Which group best represents true Christianity? This documented article answers those questions. [Portugu\u00eas: Qual \u00e9 fiel: A igreja cat\u00f3lica romana ou a igreja do deus?<\/a>]
\nSome Doctrines of Antichrist<\/a> Are there any doctrines taught outside the Churches of God which can be considered as doctrines of antichrist? This article suggests at least three. It also provides information on 666 and the identity of “the false prophet.” Plus it shows that several Catholic writers seem to warn about an ecumenical antipope that will support heresy. You can also watch a video titled What Does the Bible teach about the Antichrist? <\/a>
\n<\/em>Jesus: The Son of God and Saviour<\/a> Who was Jesus? Why did He come to earth? What message did He bring? Is there evidence outside the Bible that He existed? Here is a YouTube sermon titled Jesus: Son of God and Saviour. <\/a>
