The Sign

I heard an incredibly wonderful story this morning. These events happened yesterday.

In the parish, there is a Eucharistic minister who opened the tabernacle and was surprised to find a flower on top of the ciborium. Thinking it was improper for the flower to be there, he placed it in his pocket and went about his duties. After the mass, he remembered the flower in his pocket. He decided to give it to one of the ladies in the parish office. He told her that the flower was a special one and relayed the events that had brought the flower to his possession. She was happy to receive the flower.

Later that day, the lady sent the Eucharistic minister a text message. In that message she thanked him again for the flower and said that it was especially significant because she had been praying for a special intention and had asked for a sign from God.

I don't know what the special intention was but the flower she received was the sign she was looking for. She had asked God to send her a flower from His Heavenly Garden.
