Many people have been encouraged to think about the supernatural and to let Jesus Christ into their hearts after they have seen evidence of miracles at other approved shrines of Mary. We know these miracles are real signs of God's loving care.
There is miracle of the Eucharist, where Jesus changes bread and wine into his own body and blood; there is miracle of the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation where Jesus Christ, through the prayer of his minister, forgives sins and offers the new life of grace. There are miracles of baptism, confirmation, matrimony, holy orders, and anointing of the sick. Through these miracles, Jesus Christ does today what he did two thousand years ago.
In the words of Oscar Lukefahr, "there is also the miracle of prayer. As we thank Jesus Christ for sending his Mother to wake up the world from time to time, we ought to thank him also for the miracles that occurs every time we calm our restless minds and hearts and speak to his Mother. Earth is united to heaven. Mary gives us a personal audience. By her love and prayers, we joined more closely to her son, Jesus Christ, Our Lord and God." This, of course! Is a miracle of grace.
The meditative and contemplative nature of the rosary teaches us the calm and tranquility that this powerful prayer does to those who devotedly and fervently seek the intercession of our Mother. You don't necessarily need to shout for God to hear you! You don't need to jump and throw your arms for Jesus to hear you. Can you drop those gadgets for a while and listen to Him? Can you have your devotions in silence without playing music at the background? For God's touch is as gentle as silent!
Of all these, let us rediscover in everyday, and where'er, the richness of silence in prayer, the richness of Catholicism, the old treasure map. It may be old but it's still a healing balm. Together, let's discover and help others do the same.
To Be Continued....
Mother of our Redeemer, Pray for us 🙏🏽
