eRosary

My brother John was a drug addict. At one time he took a big amount of drug and had caused him to behave abnormal and suffer of insomnia (difficulty to sleep). He also claimed that he was possessed with evil spirit. Before that he worked offshore and mixed with various nationality and this had coloured his life in the past 10 years. We knew his abnormal behaviour after his former employer informed us. We were really uncertain on what to do to help him. At one stage, we were about to refer him to the psychiatrist and the counsellor. But when I shared my problem with some Christian friends, they asked me to try Rosary Prayer. So I called a few friends home and prayed in a group. Thanks God, after a few nights of trying, he slowly changed and now becomes normal. Thanks Mother Mary and Jesus for listening to our prayers. Amen.

Last September I decided to leave a job I really hated. I was extremely depressed, my financial situation was in chaos and I can hardly keep up with my bills. I decided to take a great leap and just quit my job. I gave them my two weeks noticed, but they wanted me to stay a little longer, therefore I stayed for 4 weeks. My last day at the job was October 19, 2007.

I spent the first week jobless and almost no hope in site, and to top it all three days after leaving the job, I found out that I was pregnant. Life got a little harder. But I still kept the faith and prayed and kept my rosary with me at all time. I was not thinking that I would have found work easily so I was ready to do temporary works until something steady came along. I did go on a couple of interviews, although they were not in the field that I wanted, I still gave it a try because they were paying positions. That Friday of the first week I got a call to go work at an entertainment company. Although the pay was not what I intended I took it because my bills had to be paid.

The second week after leaving my job, I started temping at the entertainment company. Boy I really, really really hated it. Four days into the temp position, I felt some sort of depression coming over me. I just wanted to collapse and cry. I did not regret leaving my depressing job, but my situation made me sad. I felt my eyes water and knew that I could not make it without a break. I told the people working besides me that I was going on my fifteen minutes break. I headed to the bathroom with my rosary in one hand and my cell phone (don’t know why I took that) and the other. As I am headed to the bathroom to pray, I looked down at my cell and saw a number that I did not recognized. It was one of the most prestigious university in the country who saw my resume online and wanted me to come in for an interview. Mind you, I NEVER applied for a position at the university, they found me.

Now, I went on the first interview on a Monday, then a second interview that same Wednesday. During the second interview they told me that I had the job and wanted to know if I could start that Friday. This position is going to pay me $13,000.00 a year more then what I was earning. The only way for me to describe this is MIRACLE. God and The Virgin Mary protected me and saved me. And I know the more I believe the more God will do for me.

It was back in the spring of 2005 when I found out I was pregnant with my fourth child. My three children were all born prematurely, especially my third child who was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy with effects his legs. My doctors had all mentioned that the pregnancy would be very difficult and I would require a c-section delivery if the pregnancy went full term. I began praying the rosary at the start of my pregnancy and I started to have contractions during my 16th week of pregnancy. The doctors said that I was having a miscarriage and nothing could be done to prevent the miscarriage. I continued to pray the rosary and my contractions finally stopped, but things began to turn again during my 31st week of pregnancy that I needed to be hospitalized the day after Thanksgiving.

I left my rosary beads at home, but the Catholic sisters in the hospital had given me a pair of light blue and yellow hand-made rosary beads which were made especially for the baby. I began praying even harder while receiving numerous IVs and various medications to stop my contractions. My son, James Francis, was delivered on December 21, 2005 weighing 6 lbs even and born at 35 weeks pregnancy (one week premature). He stayed in the hospital for one week before being released from the hospital. He was my biggest baby and also I held him inside of me for the longest time period. We count our blessings every day since he has been born and are grateful for this special blessing.

My husband I lost our first baby 3 months ago while I was 6 months pregnant. This devastating experience made me pray the rosary more often and to re-discover my Faith. Today, after praying the rosary I asked Mama Mary to give me a sign that I am on the right track with my life and on God answering my prayer request, and if she is listening to my prayers. I asked her that if my husband sees me and hugs and plants a kiss on my face, this means a Yes from her. So, after praying the rosary, I went upstairs, my husband saw me, hugged and kissed me on the forehead! I felt really happy! I know this Signal Grace is from Mama Mary herself.
