I know what you mean. I am agnostic but I call my higher power The Dude. I have moments when I feel like I am beong taught or tested. One time, shortly after a personal journey in which I was homeless and went to a hippie gathering I was walking to work and saw a lady pushing her cart up a hill. I felt I had a chance to use what I learned, so I sucked up my courage(I am really shy) and asked her if she wanted help. It really touched me. There's tons more stories like that but I can't think of any others right now. :) cool to you for sharing your experience. It's hard to say stuff like that without people thinking your crazy.

The Grotto at the University of Notre Dame is an incredibly spiritual place. Did you get a chance to go to Mass in the basilica as well?

The bells rang? Well, this just goes to show how coincidence can seem mystical to the weak minded. I assume you were not at Notre Dame as student since it appears from your text you didn't pass out of the 4th grade.

Funny how none of the Apostles ever claimed, or even needed to feel her presence. They had Jesus and never prayed to anyone BUT Him.

possibly you felt the Holy Spirit presence. Couldn't be Mary, she is passed on , waiting for Christ return, just like all the other believers are.on a pragmatic basis catholics worship Mary far more than they worship even the Lord Jesus Christ and far more than they worship the true and living God. It is idolatry in the clearest form. And to deal with this we need only really to do two things biblically. One is to see what the Bible says about idolatry, and the other is to see what the Bible actually says about Mary. And then we will clearly understand that they have invented a goddess to worship who has no relationship to the true Mary, the mother of Jesus revealed in Scripture, the historical Mary.Psalm 115: “Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Thy name give glory because of Thy lovingkindness, because of Thy truth. Why should the nations say, ‘Where, now, is their God?’ But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases. The idols are silver and gold, the work of man’s hands. They have mouths, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see; they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell; they have hands, but they cannot feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; they cannot make a sound with their throat. Those who make them will become like them, everyone who trusts in them. O Israel, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield. You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord, He is their help and their shield. The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless those who fear the Lord, the small together with the great. May the Lord give you increase, you and your children. May you be blessed of the Lord, maker of heaven and earth. The heavens are the heavens of the Lord; but the earth He has given to the sons of men. The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any who go down into silence; but as for us, we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forever. Praise the Lord!”

i'm sorry but can't understand your grammar.wrong spelling.good if you felt the presence of Mary.i respect your belief.I'm not a roman catholic.i'm a born again christian and we don't pray to mary.God chose her only to be a mother of Jesus because she was a virgin.if you read the bible it didn't say that you pray to Mary but to Jesus,Son of God.

I often feel like God is guiding me or that things are too convenient. I have had many experiences when I feel that God has answered my prayers or protected me.

The scripture says there is ONE mediator between God and man, why would you pray to Mary?
Do you not believe that he loves you and will hear you?

Your spelling is atrocious. Too bad Mary couldn't help you with that.

Santa always leaves her presents in a church, but I don't feel them!
