“I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth...I will let fall from heaven a shower of roses.”
~ St. Therese of Lisieux
The Rose Foundation for Children, Inc., is a non-profit corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes, to provide relief to poor, distressed, underprivileged and sick children in the USA and abroad, specifically in southern India. It is named for St. Therese of Lisieux, whose legacy is to send “showers of roses” to those who pray to her. The foundation works to serve all needy children in the spirit of charity and justice.
"Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing."
~St. Therese, Story of a Soul, Chapter VIII
"At the end of the life of every person and at the close of the history of humanity, the judgment of God will be based precisely on love, the practice of justice, and assistance to the poor."
~ John Paul II, Address at General Audience, 1/10/01
