So I have been praying the Rosary regularly, at least daily, along with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, for my children’s souls.( Two of my sons are atheists, and we have a daughter who is called a Bible Unitarian, whatever that is. )
Anyway, Wednesday as I was praying the Rosary, it suddenly broke in my hands, one of my favorites too. It freaked me out.
Thursday I was praying again and this time my other rosary broke, quite violently I might add. I just continued to pray.
Has anyone had this happen to them before?
 
I haven’t had a Rosary break, but while posting a prayer for a client of the Saint Pio Center who had a severe demonic infestation, I had a heavy wall hanging - my framed wedding bouquet - fall off the wall, crash into a wine rack and smash an entire bottle of red wine on brand new carpet. What made this unusual is that the decoration was hanging on a picture hook, and the picture hook was still in the wall, unbent. Basically the frame had to be lifted up off the hook and dropped for it to fall the way it did. Could this have been a completely natural event? Possibly, but try as I might, I couldn’t recreate a scenario in which the frame would fall. I even tried hanging the frame incorrectly, and every time it would snap back down onto the hook.

It’s very likely this event was a distraction and intimidation tactic to stop me from sending the prayer request to our prayer team. I think the same thing may be happening with your Rosary. (By the way, a wet/dry vac and OxyClean removed all of the wine - there isn’t a trace of it left. And I still sent the prayer request after cleaning the carpet. :knight2: ).

Keep praying the Rosary; it sounds like someone doesn’t want you to! You might also want to say a prayer for protection to help put a stop to this kind of thing if it is demonic.

Continue to pray for your sons and daughter. I believe God will not let our prayers go unanswered. I pray for them too, for I know the difficulty in dealing with such things. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
 
that has never happened to me or anyone i know.

if you want to make sure it never happens again buy one of those “ranger rosarys” used by our soldiers. they will never break.

take care and always continue to pray for your loved ones. but just in case:

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
St. Michael the Archangel, Defend us in the day of battle; Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, Cast into hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits, who prowl through the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

hi musician.

no doubt that would freak most people out, but really you should view the event as a source for motivation. we all know what a powerful weapon the Rosary is, so obviously your prayers are ticking a demon or demons off. don’t be scared, just keep it up! Mother Mary will lead your children to Christ.

peace.

No broken rosaries but I know someone who would often get physically attacked as soon as they started driving to church for Mass. It would usually consist of rapid heartbeat, tightened throat, feelings of suffocation and fear and other symptoms. On the drive home they would let up. Eventually, after regularly offering those sufferings up to the Lord for the conversion of sinners, they subsided over time but still come on them from time to time.

Recently they have begun to pray heavily and work for the conversion of a certain individual. Now, often when they are with that person and witnessing our holy Faith to them, those symptoms come upon them once again.

Please pray the Lord continues to grant them strength.
 
I would not read too much into this. A spiritual attack would be more akin to experiencing repetitive inappropriate thoughts during your Rosary, which interrupt it, or developing a lack of interest in praying the Rosary. I have broken a couple of Rosaries, and have noticed that I tend to put a little strain on the rope/chain during prayer so that I can advance single-handed to the next bead. Since you are praying for children you love dearly, it is quite possible that you are also straining the Rosary without knowing it. The tension placed on the Rosary would lead to the type of failure that you describe.

To be safe, however, you might petition Saint Michael the Archangel to protect you before praying.

Christ’s peace be with you.

what is a ranger rosary?
 
***…It would usually consist of rapid heartbeat, tightened throat, feelings of suffocation and fear and other symptoms. On the drive home they would let up… ***

That would be a panic attack. An anxiety disorder. Not something attacking them.
Just sayin’

I feel like that when I drive. But then I have a fear of driving. It’s a problem…in MY brain. No one or no thing’s attacking me.

Yeah. That was my take on it, too, she(?) was distressed…and didn’t realize it, and put stress on the string?

My son’s an atheist, too. But, hey, next week he might change his mind. Kids.
Who knows.
That’s the beauty of it…he has his own mind. I can’t tell him what to think. It will all work out in the end, I’m sure. Whatever he is happy with…

Mind, I’m agnostic, so, I’m not as distressed as you must be…I do hope it all works out for you and your children, whatever they decide. If they are happy, and living fulfilled lives, isn’t that a plus?

To live a happy and fulfilling life is a wonderful blessing. However, at death, the body dies, but the soul does not. We believe that the soul lives eternally. Thus, this life is only a prelude for the next, which never ends. Consider: if we live for this life only, then Mother Teresa wasted her life, which could have been spent in wealth and comfort. She, however, had a larger and eternal purpose to her life of poverty. She thought of the eternal souls of those whom she ministered to. In revealing love to them, she also gained eternal reward for her own soul.

Loving God is not an either-or situation. It is a both-and life. Reward in both this life and the next. Faith, hope and love. Eternal assurance and peace.
 
I know of someone whose rosary broke while laying undisturbed on a table (they were the only one in the house and heard it break) while they were visiting Medjugorje. I have also read a story once about rosaries mysteriously breaking (on Spirit Daily.com) but never one in which it happened while in someone’s hands. Very interesting. If it were me I would sprinkle holy water in each room of the house.
