Boots Anson-Roa: A St. Therese Columbarium Vault Owner

2009-07-20T09:05:00.000-07:00

This is an article published in Malaya regarding the death of Boots Anson-Roa's loved one (Pete) and how St. Therese Columbarium became part of the healing process. Full article here.

HOW time flies, as it has been one year (last August 9) since Pete Roa, TV broadcaster and host, passed away.

His wife, Boots Anson-Roa, had a ceremony in honor of her husband at the St. Therese Columbarium, Parañaque City, where his urn is accommodated in one of the 37,944 imported vaults.

A single vault, according to Boots, can hold four urns.

A mass celebrated by Fathers Sonny Ramirez and Larry Faraon was held at the La Chapelle des Rosas (Remembering Chapel), which can accommodate 170.

Daily masses are held at the chapel.

Reception took place at one of the Columbarium’s function rooms at the third floor, where guests have a view of the inner side of the newly-built Shrine of the St. Therese of the Child Jesus.

Envisioned to be the center of devotion to St. Therese of the Child Jesus in Asia, the shrine has several features and amenities. It has stained glass windows featuring highlights of St. Therese’s life, an ecclesiastical museum, an Adoration Chapel, and a family prayer room. It has complete video and audio capabilities, is fully air-conditioned and has 1,800 seats. There is ample basement parking, a votive area and a souvenir shop.

During the reception, a short program was held with Ichu Maceda, Prime Foundation’s treasurer and board member, delivering the opening remarks. Tirso Cruz III, who came with his wife Lyn, rendered two songs.

In her thank-you speech, Boots said she and her family hope to continue to live through Pete’s works. Hence, they have put up Prime Foundation in Pete’s honor.

Prime Foundation aims to promote causes dear to Pete’s heart, such as rehabilitation for stroke patients, continuing broadcast education, and devotion to St. Pio of Pietrelcina.

The Life of St. Therese of Lisieux

2009-07-14T05:51:00.000-07:00

Name : Marie Francois Thérèse Martin
Born : Jan. 2, 1873
Place : Alencon, Northern France

“God was pleased all through my life to surround me with love and the first memories I have are stamped with smiles and the most tender caresses. But although he placed so much love near me, He also sent much love into my little heart making it warm and affectionate. I love Papa and Mama very much and showed my tenderness for them in a thousand ways, for I was very expressive.”

Jan. 4, 1873 – Therese was baptized at the Our Lady of Notre Dame Church.

Therese was sent to Rose Taille for breastfeeding.

Aug. 28, 1877 – Her mother died of breast cancer.

“The touching ceremony of the last anointing is deeply impressed in my mind. I can still see the place where I knelt beside Celine. All five of us were lined up according to age and Papa was there too, crying. The day after Mama’s departure, Papa took me in his arms and said: ‘Come, kiss your mother for the last time.’ Without saying a word I kissed her forehead, I looked and listened in silence.”

Isidore Guerin, the younger brother of Zelie, invited all of them to live with him and his family in Lisieux.

Nov. 15, 1877 – They stayed in a beautiful house called Les Buissonnets in Lisieux.

Oct. 3, 1881 – At the age of 8, Therese joined her sister Celine at the Benedictine Abbey.

Oct. 2, 1882 – Pauline entered the Carmelite Monastery.

Five months after Pauline’s entrance to Carmel, Therese became seriously ill.

May 13, 1883 – Therese was cured by the Our Lady of the Smile.

“Suddenly the Blessed Virgin let me see her beauty, the beauty that surpassed all my experience. Her face had such a look of kindness and tenderness. But what went right to the depths of my soul was her entrancing smile. All my pain vanished and big tears flowed down my face but they were tears of joy.”

May 18, 1884 – Therese received her first communion at the Benedictine Abbey.

June 14, 1884 – Therese received the sacrament of confirmation from Bishop Hugonin at the Abbey.

1885 – Therese entered a period of scrupulosity.

Oct. 15, 1886 – Marie entered the Carmelite convent.

“The answer was not long in coming, for soon peace poured into my heart with its delightful waves and I knew then that if I was loved on earth, I was also loved in heaven. Since that moment my devotion to my little brothers and sisters in heaven has grown and I love to speak with them frequently. To speak with them about the sadness of our exile; about my desire to join them soon in the Fatherland.”

Dec. 25, 1886 – Therese received the grace of conversion.

Therese was 14 when Henri Pranzini was charged for the murder of 2 women and a girl in Paris. She prayed for Pranzini’s conversion.

May 29, 1887 – Therese asked permission from her father to enter Carmel. He allowed her.

The Monsignor would not give her permission until she was 21. Later he referred the matter to Bishop Hugonin.

Nov. 4, 1887 – Pilgrimage to Rome, for the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Ordination to the Priesthood of Pope Leo XIII.

Nov. 20, 1887 – Audience with the Pope.

“ All’s well, all’s well, you will enter if it is God’s will.”

April 9, 1888 – Therese entered the Carmelite convent.

Jan. 10, 1889 – Clothing Day. Therese received the Carmelite habit.

Sept. 8, 1890 – Wedding Day. Religious Profession of vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience.

She often fell asleep during prayer.

“ I don’t worry about falling asleep during my prayers. I think that little children are as dear to their parents when they are asleep, as when they are awake. Our Lord knows our weakness. He remembers we are only dust. I have long felt deep down in my heart that God is more tender than any Mother.”

1893 – Pauline (Mother Agnes of Jesus) was elected Prioress. Therese became Assistant Novice.

She saw to it that their recreations were enjoyable. She composed poems for them and wrote plays.

July 29, 1894 – Louis Martin died.

April 3, 1896 – (Good Friday) Therese experienced the first signs of her final illness.

May 1897 – She was confined in the infirmary.

“ I am not dying, I am entering into Life.”
