My friend is a Pentecostal, and she loves Jesus in her walk of faith; it was her that I became a Christian from my Wiccan lifestyle, and I duely thank her for bringing me to her church to change my life, eventually leading me back into the Catholic church…
As I said on one thread about sharing sacramentals to Protestants, I have given this girl a rosary, and she has treasured it as a gift. I had even given her the prayers for the Ecumenical Miracle Rosary (ecumenicalrosary.org), the Most Holy Rosary, and the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
Well, she left the rosary on her dresser because it got broken, and one night, she begane to have this dream, that she was beside a tree, and the wind began to blow hard on her, trying to throw her off balance. And within this dream, to counter against the tempest, she commenced in praying the rosary, and praying the Hail Mary in that fact!! Every time the wind would blow hard, she would pray the Hail Mary louder and louder…
Eventually, she took the rosary, and prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet; she felt the most adoring peace after finishing her prayer…
The funny thing about it, was that about a week or two ago, I prayed 3 rosaries over her… I’m surprised and so thankful…
Now she wants me to teach her the real rosary prayers, but I don’t know how she can pray the Eucharist, the Assumption and the Coronation, and especially the Hail Holy Queen prayer. She’s comfortable with the Hail Mary prayer, but the Hail Holy Queen is abit far.
She wants to pray the ‘real’ way of the rosary, but how can I compromise those three mysteries and the Hail Holy Queen (I can replace that with an ending psalm, and the Eucharist can be changed to the Last Supper…)
Not only that, when she told me, I was very much overjoyed, because I knew she found the secret of the rosary. BUT I also had this strange feeling in that I felt that it was forbidden that she should do this… she has done this without her pentecostal parents having any knowledge of this, and I feel slightly responsible for this. As if there was a fine line between what Protestants do and what Catholics do…
Even now I feel awkward…
