| My Rosary Turned To Gold |
I have no explanation as to how or why this happened other than
it was a miracle.
My dear friend Carlina gave me, and a few other close friends, matching
rosaries for Christmas.
They were all just a very plain, silver type of rosary.
I am ashamed to tell you that I had never once used this rosary.
Since she gave it to me it had been hanging on a little Mary planter I have,
admired, but sadly never actually used.

I was in a hurry one morning to go meet some distant cousins for the first time.
i was very nervous and at the last moment thought "Oh, I'll wear that rosary that
Carlina gave me".
I was flying around the apartment, grabbing shoes, purse and sped by the Mary
planter and grabbed it without even really looking at it.
You know those mornings, when you are like a blur just rushing around.

When I looked down at the rosary in
my hand to put it on really quick I
was amazed to see that it had
turned to gold.
Not just a small, slight coloring
difference mind you.
This thing had completely changed
colors.

I blinked. I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing.
I grabbed my digital camera, which was set to the wrong date, and took some
pictures.
This actually happened on Monday, March 3, 2008.
I took pictures with my cell phone camera, just to see if my eyes were playing tricks
on me.
I thought maybe I was hallucinating or losing my mind.
I ran upstairs and showed my neighbor who had seen it several times before.
"What color is this" I asked. "Gold!" she said. She had seen this several times
before in my apartment.
"Are you sure?" I kept asking and she kept replying "yes, yes, it's gold!"

She helped me put my rosary on, and I went to
meet the cousins.
Afterwards I rushed to pick my youngest son up
from his after school program.
My son walked right up to me and said "Mom,
your rosary is gold".
"Yes, I know", I said to him.
"But it wasn't gold before" he said.
The after school worker, who had been to my
house several times before said "Let me see".
Here eyes got huge and she asked if it was the
same one she had always admired at my house.
I said "Yes".
She said "But it was silver".
I said "I know!".

On the way home my son Dominic was looking down at his lap, like he was
thinking hard about something.
I asked him what he thought of this.
He said "Well Mom, if ti changes back then we know it war a true miracle".
I told him "That's terrible! Don't say that! That would mean that God took my
miracle back!" and I wacked him one.
He said firmly, "No Mom, it it changes back then we know for sure it was a real
miracle".
I just snorted at him.

When we got home I rushed around to make dinner and had a long conversation
with my older son on the phone.
with my older son on the phone.
Meanwhile my husband came home and was laying on his bed playing solitaire on
his laptop.
All day I had to keep looking down at my rosary to see if it was still gold, because I
could hardly believe this was happening.
When I got off the phone with my son,.and got dinner to a good stopping place, I
ran into my bedroom and jumped on top of my husband saying "Look! Look at my
rosary! It turnd to gold!"
He just said "Hmmmm" kept playing his game and avoided eye contact.
I looked down and held the cross in my fingers and let it dangle between his face
and the computer screen so he would have to see it.
He swerved his head to see around it.
I looked down and held it between my fingers and said loudly "Look! My rosary is
Gold!"
He sighed, I looked down again, and it was silver.
I yelled for my son to come into the room. " I yelled "Dominic! Come here quick"
He heard me carrying on and was int he room within seconds.
Meanwhile the rosary had never left my neck.
I had not taken it off.
Seconds before I had just held it up to my husbands face and seen that it was gold.
My son saw it and said, "OK, now we know this was a true miracle".

Meanwhile my husband acted like he couldn't understand
what the big deal was, and said he didn't see anything.
My son and I knew though.
Dominic told his Dad exactly what he had seen.
My neighbor told him too.
He acted annoyed by the whole thing and told me to stop
making a big deal out of it. He said the same thing had
happened to his Mom, and this was no big deal, so stop
making a fuss about it.

I called a priest that I know and trust, who is working on an Indian Reservation out in
Arizona.
He knows me, and knows how I am. I drink and smoke and carry on like a sailor
sometimes just to get laughs.
He knows that I am so far from perfect and at best really have only mastered ordinary
goodness.

good, why me?".
"I have heard about this happening to holy little old ladies - but
ME..."
Fr Stan said "Well, you know you're not getting any younger".
He went on to add that I should just accept this as a nice blessing
and sign from God and be thankful for it and try to live a good
life".
He said this really was no big deal and that he has seen this
hundreds of times.
I asked if him if he thought maybe this was a warning, but he
laughed and said no.

So that is that. That's my story.
I always have thought of myself as a more likely candidate for a lightning
bolt than a nice little miracle like this.

I really don't know what to think about this experience still today.
It has made me try to live a better life and be a better person.
I am truly grateful that God chose to send me this instead of a lightning bolt.
