MY TELLING of the BEADS
 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I PRAY THE ROSARY?
This page is dedicated to all who pray the Rosary,The Divine Mercy or are thinking about it.  Because when  people pray the rosary, things happen.  Not only are prayers answered but people are changed and this includes the one who is praying.   Recently it was shared that the rosary sets ones mind on Christ and off of ourselves.  Self pity and worry melt into an awareness of Christ's love for us as the meditations and mysteries scripturally tell us the story of his life. This creates a prayer bridge over which Christ is able to work in our lives.

DIVINE MYSTERIES of the HOLY ROSARY
THE SECRET of the ROSARY
 
  Some time ago I purchased from you at Rosary Workshop a very beautiful Rosary. The Beauty of the beads themselves inspired in me a resolve to participate as fully as possible in the prayers of the Rosary each time I recited it. Naturally this Resolve led me to St. Louis de Montfort and his writings on the Rosary in the form of the famous text ‘ The Secret of The Rosary.’ I was grateful for the chance to deepen my consideration of the Prayers in reading it.
+
Grace did not stop there for me though and by some mysterious means I discovered the book ‘Divine Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary' written by the Venerable Mary of Agreda. The  'Divine Mysteries...'  are an extract from a much larger work by Mary of Agreda called 'Mystical City of God'.
+
Mary of Agreda’s writings have deepened my appreciation for the Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary to such an extent that I feel they are indeed a VERY SPECIAL GRACE.
+
After reading the book it is impossible to ever say the Rosary again without an immense feeling of PARTICIPATION. The book is such a torrent of Blessing in the way it enlivens the meditation of the Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary and also in how it absolutely brings to Life the joy in the awareness of the Virtues expressed in each Holy Mystery itself. With Mary’s exposition each Mystery can be LIVED and shared in the praying. This is such an incredible Gift.
+
Out of Gratitude To God  and Veneration to Mary of Agreda I am driven to implore you to make known this text of hers on your Website.
+
PLEASE make the text known so that others may know of Mary and her writing on the Rosary. I am certain the Graces received from such deepened prayers will be beyond our comprehension.
+
Dedication to the Rosary surely shines in your Website and such a dedication deserves the right to be crowned with reference to Mary of Agreda amongst whose works ’ The Divine mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary ‘ is the most dazzling jewel.

 Yours Sincerely,  Brian Cadman (UK)

A Former Client   -   She Took Me to Church

...Leave me alone! ...
Even though I had returned to the Church, I still was dealing with some Mary stuff early on in my return - however, I love her now.  Funny, huh?  But Mary is the one who called me back to the Roman Catholic Church.  I would pass by St. Maria Goretti parish quite often to pick  my boys up from grammer school.  Everytime I did, I could almost physically  feel and hear Mary crooking her finger to me and saying, "Come in, come here."

One time I even yelled back at her with, "I'm not a Catholic anymore! Leave me alone!"   She got me in the end.  Denise M (AZ)
