I recently received this Rosary testimony from a friend... 😭😭😭 -------------- The greatest piece of advice I have ever received came to me as I was just coming back to the faith. I was still trapped in a habit of mortal sin, and spiritual attacks raged on against me. The advice was simply to pray the whole Rosary. I could barely manage one Rosary a day, let alone four. But I no longer had a taste for the world, and I wanted out of its grip. I picked up my Rosary and faithfully began saying four Rosaries a day, doing my best to meditate on each of the 20 mysteries. Within a few days the thought of mortal sin repulsed me, and my habit was broken. My devotion to Jesus became real and ardent. Peace flooded my life. Signs of grace poured down. I was hooked.
I prayed the whole Rosary for several years. It wasn’t until my third child was born that I began saying a single daily Rosary. By the way, I cannot stress enough the importance of praying at least one Rosary a day. You might not know it yet, but the Rosary is your lifeline. At the end of this last summer, Our Lady repeatedly nudged my heart to get back to praying four Rosaries a day. She knew the variety and weight of crosses that were about to come, and our good Mother wanted to equip me.
Recently, the Lord allowed a trial that knocked the wind out of me. It nearly knocked the faith out of me, too. I will never forget the moment when I was laying on my bed, hot and angry tears washed down my face, and through gritted teeth I told Jesus, “I want nothing to do with you.” I turned over in a huff, and was eye level with the Rosary next to my pillow.
I felt a brief temptation to give up that prayer altogether, but I grabbed it anyway and started muttering my Hail Mary’s. Those next two weeks were filled with my angry obstinance. It was the first time in many years that Jesus didn’t feel like my closest friend, and the storms howled. In the midst of feeling angry and frightened and abandoned, I nevertheless felt Mary firmly at my side.
On one of the worst days, when I was experiencing a true crisis of faith, I received a message from a friend who was praying for me. She said, “I have prayed for you so often, and just keep seeing Mary right behind you, quietly present, watching, loving, and mourning with you.” Our Lady brought me back to friendship with Jesus by the end of that second week.
I have dozens of stories of Our Lady and the miracles she has obtained for me and my family through the Rosary. Nothing delights Mary so much as the recitation of this prayer! When you give yourself over to Our Lady, she does everything for you. Being a child of Mary is one of the sweetest consolations that God has given to us in this valley of tears.
I encourage you with all my heart to try praying the whole Rosary. Give it two weeks. Your life will change. “The holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you’ll be amazed at the results.” -St. Josemaria Escriva ------------------ (If this testimony in anyway resonated with you... YOU MUST watch the video I am putting in the comments. The young woman who wrote this testimonial is also featured in that video.)
