Like 8 years ago or so when I was preparing for my confirmation I signed up for a class, and we would go to “confirmation study” every saturday an hour before mass. Im not sure but it was probably something similar to what Americans call RCIA and was needed before one could recieve the confirmation. These lectures used to be early in the morning… Imagine the struggle for a teen to get up early on saturdays when everyone else is free from school relaxing 
Anyways, I remember when we had this one lecture that was focused solely on the subject of prayer. We got to learn some basic prayers, how to use the rosary, why prayer is so important etc.
I did not think very much of it at first, but i have to ride the train 30 minutes to get back home. I thougth to myself;* “hey, why not learn the Hail Mary by heart on the train, its pretty easy anyway”*. So I just started repeating the prayer in my head… not praying per se just thinking the words over and over.
I did not notice it at first, i was just staring out the window and repeating the prayer, but for everytime i got through it some kind of relief began to grow inside. A feeling of well-being. :heaven: By the time I reached something like the 30th repeat it got noticable and i caugth on to it. As i noticed it and continued repeating the prayer thats when it really kicked in. The feeling was just growing so fast i felt like just get up and start dancing, some sort of ecstacy.
I told a friend later on about this and she was convinced that the feeling had to do with the holy spirit, could it be the case? I dont know
Anyways, if you managed to read through it all, you’re a warrior, thank you! :hug3:
I just felt like sharing, sorry if there is any anomaly with my english :blushing:
