Lost my Rosary

[coolduude]

Hi all,

I was going to pray my Rosary last night but when I went to go get it, it wasn’t in the spot I usually keep it (my bedpost). Well it didn’t fall because I searched the ground for it, it’s not under my pillow (where I keep it sometimes) and it wasn’t in my brothers room (it used to be his Rosary and he takes it back sometimes. My family is not very religious)

But my real question here is- do you think the devil stole it (I have heard this proposed before) or do you think I lost it through natural circumstances?

Thoughts?

Probably just got bumped off or something. My wedding ring once got lost in a pile of clothes on the other side of the room…I think my dog took it over there. It may show up somewhere silly just because it got caught in something else. You can always just pray with your fingers (lucky that we have 10 of those)…I did that once during surgery. Also, if you need another, check at your parish. I often see them around (in the adoration chapel usually). I know many people (like me) like to make them and give them away. But, sometimes we get attached to a special one. Keep looking. Pray to St. Anthony

You simply lost it. And you will probably find it again. Don’t worry.

Leave the Devil out of this. He’s got his hands full with making people kill and hate one another and serious stuff like that. Besides, what would the Devil want to do with a Holy Rosary ?!

Later edit - Arriana’s story about the wedding ring reminded me of something that happended to me last summer.

This was before my conversion, I was fully atheist at the time, so I gave no thought to it. In retrospect, it looks almost like a miracle. So this is what happened:

We were on the beach, and I was taking a swim. Upon coming out of the water and returning to where our sunbeds were, I realise my wedding ring is gone (I lost some weight since my marriage and it slips rather easily from my finger).

So I tell my wife, “darling I’m afraid it slipped while I was swiming… I’m going to have to get a new one”.
She says “go look for it”.
I say “are you kidding, It’s the sea we are talking about, I swam like 100 yards away from the shore line, it could be anywhere”.

She says “I’ll go look for it”, heads for the water, I look at her nodding my head thinking “my God we’re going to be here until midnight and never find it”, I see her entering the water, walking about 10 feet, then she bows, reaches for something, gets up and gets out of the water, comes to me and hands me the wedding ring.

At the time I just said, well, it’s a one in a million chance. I don’t know what to think of it now.

Awesome story! now I wouldn’t mind grainy of your conversion. It seems that so many atheists have a hard heart and are not willing to accept God’s existence

And hey what do you know I found my Rosary! it was on a different post in my room (no, not a different bed post) but it was right under my nose awesome!

Way to go!

I long ago lost my St. Michael medal and had similar suspicions. But now I think I will find it next time I clean my room (I pray!)

I lost a couple of them in the past. The first, I used to hang it along a nail in my shop, it turned up missing out of the blue, I gutted the place, it was nowhere to be found. The second, I strapped it onto the nail with a zip tie, it too ended up missing. I suspected metaphysical/supernatural means along why it dissapeared, but stuff like that, you cannot really p(name removed by moderator)oint. My third stayed in my pocket at all times, it now resides at Mary’s shrine and has not been missing ever since, my third stays in my pocket at all times, except when I pull it out to use it. It’s good to have these near to us to remind us of our faith at all times.

If a devil took it, I think rather than physically taking it, though of course this can happen, more likely you would be mentally blinded to its actual location.

But most likely you just misplaced it.

Try praying to St. Anthony to find it.
