The Rosary Became My Lifeline

By: Allison Brown October 19th, 2024

I have always struggled with the Rosary, but it wasn't until I received some healing that my struggle turned into a desire. I was often reminded of the words that Jesus spoke to the Apostle John while on the cross: “Behold, your mother.” These words profoundly affected me as I longed for Mary to be my mother. I began focusing more on the Rosary, and as I closed my eyes to pray, I imagined that with each Hail Mary, I was handing Mary a beautiful rose that she would gracefully receive. By the end of the Rosary, Mary would be standing before me with her arms full of roses and a flower crown I had placed on her head.
