The Rose Petal evenings consist of praying with Saint Thérèse by entrusting her with our intentions. This materializes by writing a letter to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux during the vigil. This letter is mailed back to its author a year later by the Community. The Community of the Beatitudes has adapted many of St. Therese's poems into songs which are sung throughout the evening, and those who have been impacted by the intercession of Saint Therese at past Rose Petal Evenings are invited to come forward and share their testimonies.
