  I’m sure many people have experienced miracles through the Rosary. But many people do not understand that miracles can happen in many different ways. Some miracles can move the earth and millions of lives while others touch a single soul. In either case, the power of prayer can be awesome when directed to a particular effort. My story is not unique, because when I mention my experience to other people they also remember this special Rosary practice and petition. It was the common practice in our elementary school to pray the Rosary every day. I attended both St. Luke’s in Whitestone, NY (grades 1 - 5 ) and St. Agnes in Manhattan ( grades 6 - 8). We Prayed the Rosary everyday. The petition was directed to the following cause: The Fall of Communism in Russia and the restoration of Christianity among the people. Although the policies of Ronald Regan are often credited with that tremendous world event, I know deeply in my heart that political policies are only part of the story. The real cause of the Fall of Communism was the petition of the Rosary. Just imagine the power of millions of prayers coming from the pure of heart. The millions of Hail Mary’s and Our Fathers emanating from Catholic School Children. They brought a miraculous change to the world.

  I am seeking "Job's Tears" Asian barley seeds to make rosaries. I have not seen them available on any website and would appreciate a source for them.

     Try selectseeds.com for Job's Tears. I ordered a few packs from this company and planted them in early spring. The plants seem to grow slow, but they are growing.

  I have a little rosary story with the message: Never give up. Some people say their minds are filled with too many distractions to be able to say the rosary. I say that persistance pays off - and sometimes very quickly! I enjoy saying a rosary while I go for long walks for exercise, and one beautiful morning I started my walk with the lovely thought that when I returned home in an hour I would be just that much closer to Our Lady. Five minutes into my walk I was thinking thoughts such as "I think I left the stove on, I need to go back." and "I don't feel so well, maybe I shouldn't go on a walk today." I was ready to stop and return home to put out what I was sure would be a kitchen fire or else become deathly ill. Then I realized what was going on: My mind was resisting my loving pledge to be closer to our Blessed Mother! I laughed out loud and continued on my walk and completed my rosary. Now I know why some folks think the devil is a little red guy with a pitchfork! And boy, he knows how to get to you (if you allow him.) Just keep on praying . . . . (By-the-way, the stove was turned off and I felt perfectly fine for the rest of the day!)

     I had a similar experience when I first converted. We had just started getting EWTN and I would sit down and do the 10:30 Rosary with Mother Angelica. The first several times I was terrified and I'm not exaggerating. Eventually it got easier and now I can't imagine not saying it. So like the other poster said, stay with it. It's worth it.

  This is a true story, and it happened this past May. A young woman was in the habit of keeping a Rosary in her glove box in the car. One day when she was driving, she was involved in a serious automobile accident. The responding emergency personnel assumed she was dead and called for the coroner. Just as the coroner was arriving, she came to and was amazed to see her Rosary wrapped around her wrist. Nobody can explain how it got from her glove box to her wrist, and she attributes it (plus the fact that she survived) as a miracle. She is recovering well from her accident.

  I am a cradle Catholic who was raised to go to church every Sunday, was sent to Catholic school, etc . . . but I was fairly lukewarm spiritually and didn't really understand my faith. When I was in my early twenties, my sister-in-law who had converted to Catholicism gave me a beautiful blue vintage rosary as a Christmas gift. I remember thinking, "this is pretty but why did she give me a rosary?" My parents, though devout Catholic, did not prayer the rosary much when we were growing up, so it wasn't part of my life. I had been taught about it, of course, and did feel drawn to it from time to time, but when I'd try to pray rosary, I felt I got nothing out of it and would stop. But, that blue rosary was so beautiful I couldn't help but want to give it another try, just so I could hold it in my hands. But I can't say I got very far with it and only prayed the rosary once in a while. At 32, I married, stopped going to mass for about 15 years and I have to say my character just got worse and worse. I was depressed and angry a lot, even though I had much to be thankful for. When I turned 40, my husband began having mini strokes, I became so frightened I didn't know what to do. I needed to reach out to God and the only way I could think to do that was through the rosary. I used that blue rosary since it was heavy and felt sturdy in my hand. I guess I just needed something to hold onto. Eventually, my husband did suffer a full stroke, but it was not as bad as it could have been and I do believe this was due to the rosaries I'd been praying asking for help. One of the main things I'd prayed for was that, if he did have a stroke, it would not be a big one. Since then the rosary has become more and more a part of my life. I began to seek out rosaries, buying them on Ebay, looking for them at resale shops, etc . . . there was a lot of anxiety to it. But that stopped when I began making rosaries myself. I am happiest when I am making a rosary. I also began to pray the rosary more regularly. That was 10 years ago, and my faith has gradually deepened to the point that I now pray the rosary daily. My husband and I attend mass together every Sunday and this year we were finally married in the church. My work (as a poet and poetry publisher) is also centered around the rosary. A few months ago, I stopped doing this work, thinking I should be doing something else to earn money. But, without it I felt a terrible void, as if something vital was missing inside me. It was awful. I resumed the work and now I am feeling normal again. Without the rosary, my life would be meaningless. With all my heart, I now know this to be true and I thank Jesus for showing me that and for bringing the rosary into my life. And to think it all started 20 years ago, when my sister-in-law thought to give me that beautiful blue rosary.
