the rosary

Well we are in the first week of our 54 day novena...and I must say that Thursday was great, we started here in the office with Christine, Antonija in our prayer room. WOW very powerful! Then came Friday...it happened to be the first Friday of the month and a friend has started a rosary gal gathering every first friday of the month so that one was amazing as well. In fact the prayer space there was so strong... we could feel the presence of the HOLY SPIRIT in full grace!!! My friends started this group just the three of them when they were new moms and now it is about 30 gals and growing... the Angels in Heaven are hearing them and applauding their devotion to this beautiful practice! Then came Saturday.. I have to be honest... I did a decade in the car, a decade while exercising and a decade somewhere else and finished it up while watching my son play basketball..not so reverent... I just did it to do it. YIKES that is hard to admit! Then came Sunday... and it was Super Bowl Sunday... we were running around all day and so once again I got it done however not so reverent. Today was better! I drove myself to church, sat quiet in a pew and reverently said my rosary prayers. AHHHH finally my heart settled and grace was felt! Loving the process. PS I heard some unknown bright ball of light came down from the sky to Temple Mount in Jerusalem... God really wants our attention...are we listening???

Miracles of the Rosary

My mom passed away suddenly on January 9th 2011... with a grieving heart I travelled into the deepest cave of saddness that I have ever, to this date experienced... all I wanted to do was curl up in my mothers bed, hold on tight to her pillow, her scent and her love and cry until tears no longer flowed. I felt too young to be here on this earth without my mother and father (who passed in 2007). Yes my mom is dancing in heaven with the angels as my 9 year old son said... however why...why now... And then the prayers and friends began to arrive. The soft humm of the Rosary began to ring throughout the room... My mom still lying in her bed, breathless yet light. The humm of the prayers began to lift her. My four sisters and I clung on to every word of the prayers..knowing down deep that comfort would begin as the prayers rang strong. We continued to rock, to pray and to recite the angelic salutations as the gates of heaven were open. Our hearts were lifted... Two days later our community of family and friends began a 9 day novena... the rosary being prayed for 9 days for us, for our family, for our mother... The thought alone was enough to fill our broken hearts with love. I made it to the last 3 of the 9 novenas and the people gathered took my breath away...I fell to my knees in humble gratitude and truly I say to you...the rosary helped heal our pain! The first day that I went the opening prayer was for my mom, as she stood in front of Our Lord... I could feel her, I could see her and I knew in that moment that God took her at the BEST time for her... The 8th day of the novena, the opening prayer was for all the men in our family, the son-in-laws and grandsons... we cried as we held them up to the Lord in prayer... and that evening my nephew Will called and we talked... his grief was lifting. The 9th and last novena was held in Jackie's home overlooking the Pacific Ocean with the sun warming our backs... Our Blessed Mother was there along with my mom... I thank you, our Heavenly Family for offering us all a means to reach Heaven on Earth and feel the comfort of everlasting life even when we hurt the most.... I ask each of you to offer a rosary prayer for all those that suffer... may we all be free from suffering as we sit before God. And Please remember the beauty of this Novena as a gift for any of your beloved friends or family that lose a loved one... It is a small tradition that makes a BIG Difference... May God Bless us all...thank you...
