Hi I haven’t necessarily prayed the Rosary consistently over the last few years, but I must say — as a former Protestant (and critical of all things Catholic), when I started to pray the Rosary, it was difficult. My mind was almost always in a continual state of criticism. But as I moved past that, and found a love for the Virgin Mary, and the time of prayer became sweet. Not always, but many times when I do pray the Rosary, I have mystical experiences. I say mystical mostly because it’s a mystery to me, as to what is actually happening.
When I’m very focused, and I pray from my heart with clear and smooth dictation, something very powerful happens. It’s not always exactly the same, but it’s often times similar. I feel not only immense energy flowing through me (imagine ‘getting the chills’, and then magnify it times a thousand), I also feel something that is difficult to describe. It almost feels like angels wings, or wings of a dove (I say dove because that is a beautiful bird that is gentle and gracious). Often times I will feel this feeling around the area of my hips. It’s almost as if this wing feeling is actually coming from the inside of me, and not the outside. I will feel it between the two sections of “Hail Mary full of grace…[then the feeling]…”Holy Mary…”
What I perceive is happening is that I’m being joined in this prayer. The feeling almost feels like a nod, like a parent would nod as you read a paragraph correctly.
And then there’s something else. Not only do I sense great grace upon my life when I regularly pray the Rosary, but I have all kinds of other mystical experiences such as lucid dreams, visions, and trances. I don’t mind these things because I’m not afraid. I know God’s people and servants throughout the history of mankind have experienced such things.
Please share any of your experiences or thoughts on these things!
Thank you and God bless
