Signal Graces

Whenever I see a white butterfly or white flowers, I claim God is speaking words of peace and joy to comfort me and cheer me up. These are signal graces I get from praying the rosary.

Signal Graces are signs sent by God to help us make the right decisions in life. Moses saw a burning bush as a sign from God, and other people received signs from God daily. Signal graces usually come about as subtle hints to help keep us moving in the right direction - these signs are truly gifts from God. Remember - there is no such thing as a coincidence, everything happens for a reason! By praying the rosary you will be more conscious of the way that God tries to help you and speak to you every day.

Do Not Be Disturbed

"Let not your heart be disturbed. Do not fear that sickness, nor any other sickness or anguish. Am I not here, who am your Mother? Are you not under my protection? Am I not your health? Are you not happily within my fold? What else do you wish? Do not grieve nor be disturbed by anything." (Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego)

I Wanted To Die To Face Not The Next Day

I was so fearful, I did not want to wake up, the only problem was I can't even sleep. Yes, I've been in that desperate situation. I prayed and prayed even if I can't feel the prayer I was saying. I found no comfort. I wanted to turn numb and hopefully evaporate.

I was blank on what to do, so I remained lying down in prayer in a fetus position. The phrase "Be still and know that I am God", came to me.

I frequented the Adoration Chapel of our Parish during the hour of great mercy, that's 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Then, I started to calm down and just let things be, going with the flow. My fear, little by little left me. I found myself completely leaning on the Lord, in the midst of not understanding what is going to happen.

Things got worse before they got better. At the peak of my fears, I run to the Adoration Chapel.

Suddenly, I became aware that I am still alive even with all my pains. I began to be plain grateful. I am suffering, but not to the point of bleeding, like Christ.

My problem lightened. Note that it did not disappear, but it amazed me that it lost its power over me. I was free.

Now, I want to share this for those who feel hopeless at the moment.

The song "You Are Mine" contain words that speak directly to one with a heart full of fears like how I was then . . .

...I will lift you from all your fears
...Be still, and know I am near.

I am strength for all the despairing …
I am hope for all who are hopeless
...Come and rest in Me.

...I am the peace the world cannot give
I will call your name, embracing all your pain

Do not be afraid, I am with you …
...Stand up, now, walk, and live.

Do Not Be Afraid

YOU ARE MINE

I will come to you in the silence
I will lift you from all your fear
You will hear My voice
I claim you as My choice
Be still, and know I am near

I am hope for all who are hopeless
I am eyes for all who long to see
In the shadows of the night,
I will be your light
Come and rest in Me

I am strength for all the despairing
Healing for the ones who dwell in shame
All the blind will see, the lame will all run free
And all will know My name

I am the Word that leads all to freedom
I am the peace the world cannot give
I will call your name, embracing all your pain
Stand up, now, walk, and live

Chorus:
Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow Me
I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine
