Rosary for Healing
Fr. Dwight Longenecker may wish I hadn’t read his book, Praying the Rosary for Inner Healing! I’ve loaned my copy to so many people, and spilled the basic idea to many more – because following Fr. L’s advice brought me some amazing blessings. Pray through the mysteries of the Rosary, applying the particular graces given to Christ in that stage of His life to yourself. It’s a simple enough, but profoundly helpful suggestion.
You know there are ‘issues’ that date way back in your life, but you either don’t realize they are still impacting you adversely, or you don’t realize they can be healed. Christ’s life gives you a ‘pattern’ to overlay on yourself-at-every-state of growth. His Spirit helps apply the grace you need for healing (sounds like a spiritual chiropractor making an adjustment!). You may, or may not know – or ever find out – what your particular wounds, scars, and issues are, but He certainly reaches even the dark and forgotten corners through this prayer.
The image I’m including with this post is “Mary, Untier of Knots”. You can find more about this devotion online, but it is fitting here because I have known Mary to miraculously ‘untie my knots,’ and Fr. Longenecker’s book helped me appropriate that kind of help from her more fully. Both she and God are involved in this ministry!
