Praying the Rosary had always been a hassle for me. I’d always had misgivings about it, not understanding that praying to the saints and the Virgin Mary doesn't offend God, quite the contrary: there's no jealousy in Heaven; everyone loves each other in God, and is united in God.
This being said, I have actually experienced the power of the Rosary in a few bad situations, and have been amazed at its effects.
I'm currently going through a series of mind-boggling trials, which I've discovered to be linked to curses and magic, and which in my opinion can only be the result of a full-scale attack by the devil, who is relentlessly targeting my family.
This morning, I heard a call in my heart to use the Rosary as a weapon, and I prayed it easily and with joy: the joy of knowing that the sinner in me is not abandoned by God; of discovering that the Rosary is a prayer that even the worst sinners can say and that Victory awaits at the end of all these trials that I entrust to the Lord.
I also understand that these trials are a time of grace that God is giving me to learn to pray to Him and to trust Him.
