If so, what was it, and how did you know that it was of God, not of Satan or of your own ego?

An example: I heard Johnette Benkovic on her radio show relate an experience she’d had while praying the rosary: she saw a tiny bright light become bigger, and she was given to believe that this was what the angels saw when Mary was assumed into Heaven (I am paraphrasing her words).

I pray the rosary daily and I bring whatever is on my mind or what is happening in my life at that time to the rosary. I feel I have gotten what I would consider great ‘insight’ from praying it at times, at other times, I’m distracted.

It’s been said the rosary is a ‘place’ and I agree with that. If I’m praying as I should and I’m not distracted, I get a sense of being in a place while praying the rosary, seeing myself right there in the mystery’s and then I try to apply them to my life. Sometimes it’s about perseverance but I can say with conviction, the rosary can change your life.
 
I’ve not prayed the Rosary nearly as much as I should and I have a mind that wanders terribly, but I have seen, and if memory serves, even smelled, things very vividly when praying the Rosary.

I seem to recall I could smell the hay in the stable when meditating on the Nativity. And I had what seemed like a great insight at the time that I can’t quite remember right this minute.

I try to pray the rosary daily. It is what has helped me make it thru two extremely difficult years. Sometimes its hard when i am overwhlemed, so much on my mind. I don’t concentrate well. I get through it and always feel blessed for it. But sometimes when I pray it, my voice “feels” like velvet, and I feel good all over, and it feels as if God is with me, and this is a sign, he is glad I am praying it. He is always glad, but sometimes He shows me in this way. Sometimes I get new insights into the mystery I am praying. Only sometimes! Most of the time, not. I keep meaning to write it down when I think of them, I should. But this also seems like a sign of encouragement to keep persevering. We look after our connection to God (as in through the rosary) and He looks after our needs. That what I tell myself when I think I am too busy to pray it. And He sure does look after me.
 
I Have had a Mystical Experience while praying the rosary. It was the most beautiful image of our Lord. I was at adoration praying my rosary for others and I received the most precious gift. Alot of times it is more of a private revelation for me to lead me closer to the Lord and those I love. Those experiences are there for everyone if you are open to them. I don’t believe it was the evil little man because it was form of grace that I received afterwards.
 
In praying the mysteries of the most holy rosary and contemplating the scripture for each mystery, makes them present for me and enlightening, as if iam right there experiencing the event, for example, in meditating on the Transfiguration Mystery of the Luminous Rosary Prayer, I experienced revelation that came to me in prayer how Moses the law, and Elijah the prophet conversed with Jesus amongst eye witnesses, My revelation was such that when I came to my senses from the revelation that I found myself not breathing, sitting looking up as if in a trance, when I realized my senses , I was out of breath as if I just ran a 100 meter race as fast as i could. The details of the revelation is numerous, in short all I can say, the rosary prayer is truly a weapon as the Blessed Father Pio called it. I will end my comment with just a statement of contemplation. Did you Know that since Pope John Paul the Great gave us the luminous mysteries, along with the joyful, sorrowful, and glorious mysteries, when you contemplate all of them, THEY FULLFILL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.
 
I was once sitting in my car which was parked and praying the rosary. I was waiting to get into a building which wasn’t open yet and so I figured I’d pray. This was around the time I first started to pray the rosary.

Part way through I found myself in the oddest state of mind, where my body was completely relaxed. At that point I thought I could see the face of our lady. It may very well have been a thought of the Mary statue at the Cathedral, but reguardless it was such a gift to remember/see it at that time.

It brought me peace.
 
I have to laugh at this. Years ago, when my husband and I were stationed in Germany, and I was going through a very difficult pregnancy, we had this little car, a volkswagon. It was 40 kilometers to Frankfurt, where I had my doctor’s appointments, and this car shouldn’t have made it into the next block.

Okay, this isn’t mystical, but practical.

We prayed that rosary hanging from our rearview mirror all the way to Frankfurt, and all the way back. Each time we were convinced the Blessed Mother got us there and safely home. I say convinced because the one time we neglected to pray that car to Frankfurt, it broke down and never ran again. Seriously.

She listens to us, and God listens to her, but sometimes all I hear is the wind running between my ears.
