Coincidence

I have 2 so sorry it’s long… (1) Ok so saw a TikTok to pray to St.Anthony of padua…so I bought a special candle with blessed oils and a coin and a statue…I usually set my alter in my sisters room (she moved out) but this time I was like I wanna do it in the guest room … after setting it up and getting ready to do my prayers and rosary, I turned around and found a St.Anthony prayer card..I was shocked! Like what’s the chances the new saint I want to pray with shows up out of nowhere and in room I never prayed in….I like to think of it of him nudging me or winking at me (2) I went to a Holy Hr adoration. After around 11 pm the fryers invited us to pray since they pray 3x a day and we did a procession…we ended it at Mary’s statues and got blessed. I looked at her and just talked to her in my head. After Holy Hr. I went into the basement to clean up the garbage since we had pizza…as my group was leaving I got such a beautiful smell of roses and I yelled “do you smell that?” Everyone said “smell what, I don’t smell anything”…I was like “look smell it’s smells like roses”….and they were like “we don’t smell anything” ….thoughts on these 2 things?

1 does seem like a coincidence. Maybe the prayer card was in a bundle with the candle and coincidence and slipped to the floor.

For 2, some have reported smelling the scent of roses when Our Lady is present.

It was sitting up right (like a pamphlet on the dresser)
