eRosary

I have submitted a few stories because I know many people cross this site looking for a miracle. The hardest thing to do is let Jesus and our Heavenly father take the problem over. I struggle with this constantly. I had a heart attack at 44 due to stress from deaths of my family and finances. My heart for the last month was between 105 and 120. My whole body was shaking from it and I was scared because I could not stop it. I prayed a rosary a week ago and said the following, "Father, I know you created us with a vison of perfect health. This includes a perfect heart. I ask you to send your Holy spirit into my heart and restore it to it's natural state of perfect health. I pray that my heart rate will stay in the normal range of 70 to 80 beats per minute." I then let it go. For the last week I have measuredd my heart rate, with no changes to medication or lifestyle and it has never been higher than 85. Tell me that God does not answer prayers immediately! Thank you God, Jesus, Holy Spirit and my Blessed Mother!

I am relaying several of my Rosary and Blessed Mother stories to you because I felt a calling to do so and I am inspired by the gifts that you have all received. I know that many people who are not catholic, like me (I am a non affiliated Christian), are hesitant about the role of Saints and The Blessed Mother. I have had many different religious experiences in all faiths from wiccans to Christian to Islam. I understand that a foundation based on God is the only important factor. I had friends in my early 20’s who were wiccans and santarian. I was searching for something because my prior religious experience has told me that God would never love me. I have seen things that have made me very certain that demons and the devil do exist. It was during this period that I noticed that many people practicing these non God Centered religions were experiencing a continuous downward spiral, sometimes deadly. I was just hanging out, watching, but my life was degrading. One day I turned on the TV and it was tuned to EWTN. I saw a program on the Miraculous Medal of the Blessed Virgin. It affected me deeply. I asked the Santaria Priestess if she knew about the medal and she lost her mind, yelling at me to stay away from it. I bought one within the hour. I prayed the medal novena and rosary (my first time). Within 3 days, I had a call from a friend out of the blue. She offered me a new job, new city and a new life. I have never looked back. Thank You Blessed Virgin for saving my life and my soul.

In 2008 I was in the middle of situations that were emotionally troubling for me. I had begun a practice of meditation on the beach that began before sunrise and continued until the sun had raised from 5:45 am until about 7 am. I had not been praying the rosary for awhile and while I was there I decided to do the rosary using my fingers (which is great because it forces your attention on the rosary). I began with my eyes closed and joggers were coming past as I stood there. About the 3 Mystery it became very quiet and I opened my eyes. No one was around anymore and when I looked to my right, about 10 feet away, I saw what looked like a little star hovering at head height. It looked like when in children’s stories the little star comes down and twinkles. It was a gold color with a red center. As I continued to pray two more appeared to either side of it. I was so peaceful I continued until I had finished all three mysteries (I have not incorporated the luminous into my practice). As I neared the end, the two side lights faded and as the sun rose, I thanked the Blessed Mother for standing with me, Jesus and our Heavenly Father and left.

I was educated in private Southern Baptist schools until the age of 13. I was always taught that Catholics worship idols, etc. I will relate later what happened to bring me to the Blessed Mother. I prayed the Rosary and Miraculous Medal for many years, then like most of us, I got distracted and fell away from the practice. Despite the truly amazing graces bestowed on me, as a non Catholic, I found myself away from her and Jesus in my mind and things fell apart by my own hand and decisions. I prayed again this week because I am in such turmoil and sure enough she has answered. I was actually speaking with her about my troubles in my room and crying, and I said, “Please give me a sign that I am in your care. I cannot even talk to my best friend about this problem. Before I could get the words out of my mouth he texted the following, “I am sitting here listening to the song “You raise me up”, and you should know you are loved.” I have never had a text like that from him before. Many people do not realize that the Miracles we receive almost always come from something subtle. I have learned that because God created all things his solution is often through his creation. We look at these events and it is our faith that must discern the spiritual source and meaning.
