Last week I was praying my rosary, doing the sorrowful mysteries, when I heard a woman’s voice. The voice said “I will pray for you my son” and that was all. I think that Mary herself was the one speaking, however I want someone to weigh in on this for me. I would haves the preist at my parish that sunday, however I was nervous because I have not become a member of the church yet. I’m a convert from not having a faith and I chose Catholicism because it was my mothers faith. I recently started going to church again and have not yet taken conformation classes. But I am starting to tell my life story. If anyone has any guidance for me, I would be much obliged. Thanks for your time…
 
I don’t really know what kind of experience you had there – but that is JUST what the
Blessed Mother might say and do! So be strengthened and unworried.

Receiving Confirmation is a great thing. In the meanwhile you can pray to the Holy Spirit for guidance, especially when you read the Bible.

I have found the rosary to be a profound treasure, with insights that dawn on one when they REALLY meditate on the mysteries which are the touchstones to our lives on Earth while journeying towards heaven.

My guidance? Simple. Keep going. It sounds as if you have a desire for the Lord and all the good things he wants you to have. Meditate more on the Sorrowful Mysteries, especially the one you were considering when the voice came.

What occurs to me in those mysteries (and certainly it is not all that can be discerned are):

Courage in the face of coming disaster

Endurance through suffering

Humility through Humiliation and the conquest of Pride

Perseverance to the Goal no matter how hard. Accepting allies and help when we fall alone.

Completing our tasks. Forgiving even our enemies. Caring for families and loved ones.

Best of blessings to you earlgrey! 👍
 
Whether you heard was from Mother Mary or from your own thought, our heavenly Mother does pray for us, that is for sure. Continue to attend confirmation class and pray the Rosary. Rosary is a great way to pray. Peace.
 
I suggest calling and making an appointment with a priest to talk with him about this. After Mass or in the confessional is not really a great time for this conversation. It would be a good time to also inquire about RCIA.
 
Welcome to CAF, earlgrey! May our Lord bless and guide you on your journey – with the help of His Blessed Mother, who’s our mother, as well! 🙂

God bless,
Dan

Welcome to the Catholic Church! 🙂

Blessed Mother Mary does not care if you are Catholic yet or not; you were praying the Rosary! You have been very blessed! It’s a joy and blessing not many people get, and even fewer talk about. I have seen Mary out of the corner of my eye at Eucharistic Adoration (or an angel, not sure which, I tend to go with Mary; story for another time), I’ve seen her smile at me during prayer at her statue in the Church. I’ve also felt the Holy Spirit, and spoken directly with God while I was in the gift of Grace from the Spirit. God has also given me answers to prayers within SECONDS.

I don’t know how you are joining the Church, if it’s through RCIA or otherwise. But be open to hearing Him, hearing Mary. Sometimes our hearts hear when our ears do not. How did Mary sound? I imagine it was a very beautiful voice, soothing and full of love. I remember His as compassionate, loving, happy at times, sharing my sorrow at others. Truly, music to my soul and ears!

Gen 24:15 is brought to mind
How did Mary sound? She sounded motherly and it brought a peaceful emotion over my entire body

If the words you heard were said with beautiful gentleness and love and gave you great peace then it sounds like something straight from Mary, your Angel Guardian or a Saint. God bless you.
