Prayer isn’t ultimately about changing God’s will — it’s about chang-ing ours.

The novena is simple: Pray the Five Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary nine days in a row for that interpersonal issue that is so painful in your life.

The Glorious Mysteries are like an instruction manual on how to handle personal problems.

That could mean starting a daily Rosary if you don’t pray it already, or adding an extra Rosary if you do.

The interpersonal issue could be any of the thorny problems we face: The family issues life inevitably brings, pitting “father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

Workplace issues from unemployment to overemployment to poison workplace politics.

It could be an issue with your luckless love life, your sabotaged social

life, or your ruinous run-ins with your next door neighbor.

*Pray the first mystery, the Resurrection, for faith that nothing is impossible for God. The problems we face can look insolubly difficult. But so can the problem of Jesus Christ being rejected by his followers, sentenced to death before a cheering crowd, and buried for three days. *Pray the Ascension for the fortitude to do what is necessary to solve your problem. *Pray in the third mystery that the Holy Spirit will be your part-ner as you face your problem. *Pray that the Assumption will reset your priorities. *Fifth, leave it all in the hands of Mary with the coronation. She is the Queen of Heaven and Earth, a powerful intercessor with God himself, and she is our mother. If we invite her intercession into the circumstances of our life, she will look out for us just like our mom would. She will make life easier in many ways, more difficult in certain ways, and better for us in every way. -Aleteia

This powerful Rosary Novena Solves Interpersonal Problems, Gloriously

DEVOTION TO MARY (Rose to Mary Ministry)

O MOST BLESSED MOTHER, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling; hear our prayer. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, especially for

Charles Diller

We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your gentle care and intercession those whom we love, who are sick, lonely, hurting or have gone before us. Help all of us, Holy Mother to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever. Amen.

_______________________________________

The rose often symbolizes Mary, the Queen of Heaven. In relation to the Blessed mother it displays perfect love, form, fragrance, and color. For Mary the thorns on the rose remind us that Our Lord Jesus Christ wore a crown of thorns and gave up his blood for all humanity, as His Mother, Mary witnessed this suffering and death first hand at the foot of the cross.
