It all really started with the Rosary about 9 and a half years ago. No one had ever taught me or encouraged me to pray the Rosary and it was what I was looking for. Prayer. I came across a card with an amazingly beautiful picture of Our Mother Mary. Inside the card was how to pray the Rosary. I taught myself how to pray the Rosary from that day. Swiftly after this, I started to go on pilgrimages. My first one was to Lourdes and then I went to Medjugorje and then after Mass one evening my friend asked me if I wanted to go to Garabandal. He told me that it was in Spain. At that point, I phoned my mum and asked her if she wanted to go with me on a pilgrimage to Spain. She said yes. So within 10 minutes of being asked mum and I were going to Garabandal and from memory I knew nothing about Garabandal until we actually got there. Beautiful it was and I loved the message. I then went to Krakow in Poland to the shrine of St Faustina. I have been to other places but for some unknown reason I have always been drawn to go back to Garabandal. Next month I will be going again. It will be my 6th time. And in our group there will be 5 of us that follow MDM. Some of us are also plannning to be there on the day of the miracle, God willing.
About 4 years ago I used to go to a friend's house and we would pray the Rosary, The Divine Mercy Chaplet and then just have a chat. Then after a while she would give me a message with no references on it. I would read it and then wonder where it came from but I never asked. After about a month of this I eventually asked. And that is how I was introduced to the messages. I bought myself a laptop so that I could read the messages and caught up with the ones I hadn't read. So I have been following MDM for nearly 4 years now. We have a weekly crusade prayer meeting where I live and this started nearly 2 and 1/2 years ago.
It has been many years now that I pray the 20 decades of the Rosary daily and believe that this has helped me in my faith. I could not be without the Rosary. The Seal and medal are an awesome protection. I love this mission. I love that I have been called to this mission. I want to do all I can to help Our Lord and Our Lady save souls. looking forward to the New Era.
Love and prayers.
