Signal Graces            

What are signal graces? I bet you've had signal graces before and just called them coincidences. What if that coincidence was God trying to encourage you or communicate with you? What if you could count on God communicating with you in this way? It turns out you can!

Signal graces were promised to those who faithfully pray the rosary centuries ago. This site will teach you how to pray the rosary. If you already know how, it will enhance your rosary prayer experience with tips on mystery meditation, personal prayer requests tied to each mystery, and MORE!

Before you know it you'll be writing down your own signal graces and sharing them with your friends. Let God surprise you today with the gift of a signal grace.

Just a few examples of signal graces-- though I experienced hundreds:

BLUE ROSARY:

I prayed the rosary about giving a non-Catholic friend a rosary. I decided to order a blue rosary from the internet and place it in my guest room that she was helping me decorate. As I went to find a blue rosary online to order, my baby woke up and I had to abandon the task for a few hours. Before going back to my computer, I checked the mail. In the mail that day I received a blue rosary complete with instructions on how to pray the rosary that were perfect for my friend. When I gave her the rosary three days later, she said that it was perfect because she had been praying for a new prayer to pray.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED:

Over a series of months while praying the rosary, I would read something I did not know about why Catholic believe this or that, or I'd accidently learn something from a friend or TV. Each day someone would ask me a specific question that I couldn't have answered had I not just read or heard what I did that day. It happened so often with one of my Protestant friends and in such an awe inspiring, amazing fashion, that because of the signal graces and the truth that she learned, she became Catholic.  

PEOPLE CALL:

On a day I pray the rosary, its a common occurance for the person I pray for to call or email me. Sometimes this happens in the middle of me praying the rosary for them. With my husband, it seems so often that the second I think of calling him- he calls me instead. It always makes me smile when this occurs, but especially when it involves someone I haven't talked to in a really long time like an old high school friend.

MIRACULOUS MEDAL: 

One week in I prayed the rosary and each day, I learned of at least one person who was sick or who needed healing. This happened while I was reading a book called, Miracles Do Happen by Sr. Briege McKenna. One of the people I found out was sick was my husband, who's cholesterol was at a dangerous level.

Despite trying to lower his cholesterol through diet & exercise the doctor told him it hadn't worked, and he would have to be on medicine for the rest of his life. He told me this the same day I read in Sr. Briege's book about the history of the miraculous medal. A day or two before, I'd just received a miraculous medal in the mail detailing the same story of the miraculous medal. Since it was such a coincidence to see the story in her book and get one by mail and since Sr. Briege said miraculous healings had occurred when she gave the medal to others, I gave out a few miraculous medals to those who I heard of who were needed healing, including one to my husband. He went to the doctor a few days after he began wearing the medal, and his cholesterol had unexplainibly dropped over 80 points! He did not have to get on the medicine. Right after this, I discovered that his birthday is the same day as the Feast of the Miraculous Medal. 

THEMES:

My signal graces commonly come in themes. For example, if God wants to communicate something to me about a specific topic, then He'll send lots of coincidences about that topic in the same week. Often, if I'm reading a book, what I read in that book, whether a relgious book or a secular novel, will be accompanied by coincidences on that same topic or theme. The themed signal graces arrive via a variety of ways. Facebook, TV, Email, conversations, bumper stickers, books, billboards, commericals, CDs, and things my kids say are avenues that God has used to send these coincidences.

For example, I knew God wanted me to do the Mother Teresa study that I'd just agreed to do with our Church's Mom's group, because the day after I agreed to do it, my Mom and sister (who lived in different cities than me) both emailed me something about Mother Teresa, and someone at the place I volunteered had accidently left a different book about Mother Teresa on the table. The day after that, my CD of the month came in the mail. On that CD, the priest told a story about Mother Teresa during his presentation on humility.
