eRosary

I was living life pretty much away from the church and religion, even though being brought up Catholic. At this point in my life I stated that I hated all religions. I cannot recall ever saying the rosary. To make this brief, I had miraculous series of events that lead me to say the rosary. I was alone at home, I barely had the mysteries memorized and decided that this time nothing was going to get in the way of me saying the rosary.

Recently, I had asked a question about where is evil and where does it live - where is it in man? I was just about to say the rosary and I noticed that it was suddenly like a spring day outside even though it was fall. I had to say the rosary without anymore interruptions. I started saying the Joyful Mysteries. It was either the 1st or 2nd mystery, when I heard a female voice ( I was alone) speaking - it was the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in person, on tv, or the movies. It was as if a gem/crystal/prism was speaking. All the facets were like rays of a voice but the voice sounded clear like one projected sound. I can only compare it to a mother speaking tenderly and lovingly to her newborn. And that is not even an accurate caparison. This voice said that out of hearts of men come evil and she repeated it. I did not say anything and I was not afraid or upset at all. I have to tell you that you would give up everything to hear this voice again and again.

I continued and when I got a the 3rd mystery a male voice spoke. It was a very powerful, strong, clear, direct, voice but not mean. It was like thunder or I can compare this voice to the "booms" you hear at the 4th of July fireworks - you know after the fireworks burst, then follows that explosion , white light, and boom - sound. Only this sound did not hurt the ears and was not uncomfortable in any way. Each word was a booming voice. The voice said, "I AM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD". You do not mess around with this voice.

This was just the beginning, in 2004, of many experiences for me. Thanks for stopping by and reading my true story of the rosary.

God bless you, and please, do yourself and your family a favor and say the rosary daily.

These happenings concern rosary promise #3.

Part of the message is that the rosary shall defeat heresies.

Two or three days in a short period of time, I would dream and picture a specific animal.

In the morning, immediately after having the vision, I would go out and get the morning paper from the box, and start to read it.

The vary first thing my eyes would see would be the animal in my dream.

A short time after these occurrences, I was awakened by a somewhat high pitched, male, Almighty voice.

The exact words I heard were "I have a telescope."

This effectively defeated my heretical belief that God did not see every little detail of every little thing, but that our guardian angle would see everything and keep track.

Not long after this, I was in church during the renewal of our baptismal vows, and the priest spoke with the same Almighty voice.

This defeated my heretical belief that God did not speak directly through the mouths of His representatives - His priests.

Before I joined the Catholic Church (about a year ago) I had a daughter from a relationship that I was in for ten years. She is now four. I have recieved many signal graces from praying the Rosary and here is a great one that just happened. I recently fought for full custody of my daughter who is four years old. The system in Minnesota is heavily slanted towards the mother and usually favors them. I have been in a situation where I have had my daughter the majority of the time for the last couple of years. I recently got married and the mother was threatening to take my daughter away to live with her when she moved into her new house. This was a very real threat as by law (since we were never married) she had full custody of our daughter and could take her at any time and I could do nothing about it. So I went to court and asked for full custody not thinking that I would actually be given it, I figured it would be a joint agreement. After court in December '08 I prayed a novena to Mary asking to be granted the custody I asked for in court. On Jan 21, 2009 I got a phone call from my attorney saying that the judge had made a ruling and I was granted full custody of my daughter. Hail Mary!! I can now raise her confidently in the Catholic faith (which her mother has objected to) and continue to teach her love and devotion to Jesus through Mary. Thank you Holy Mother, and thank you Lord Jesus Christ!!

I could write a small book on the graces I have received through the recitation of the 15 decade rosary. I don't meditate on the mysteries, since these were added after St. Dominic was given the 15 promises, according to written history.

Today's story happened shortly after I started praying the rosary, after a long absence. A friend of mine brought to my attention a particular flower. It was a digitalis .

This particular digitalis had a flower on top that was as if someone had taken 3 or 4 of the normal digitalis and formed it into a new perfect new flower, altogether. I was captivated by this flower, and new it was something rarely if ever seen. I took 3 photos with a self developing polaroid camera, then I got my compact 35 mm. The polaroids actually are luminous at the new, top bloom.

When I got my 35mm, I wanted the best possible pictures, and I don't use it often. I decided to find the manual for the camera, to use it properly. In the zipper pocket of the camera bag was a very old bookmark with the 15 promises of the rosary that my dad had given me, years ago.

I had put it there for safe keeping, and long ago forgotten about it.
