Blessed Mother Brings Me My Lost Rosary Ring
On 22 August 2025, I attended a funeral. A taxi came to collect my brother-in-law and me to drive us to the funeral. That morning, it was raining very heavily.
When the taxi arrived, it was an SUV, so I climbed into the back seat and did not want to leave my handbag on the floor as it was quite muddy and dirty. Also, I did not feel comfortable in that car—for some reason, I felt the presence of evil.
I placed my handbag next to me on the seat. As the driver made a U-turn at the beginning of our journey, my bag flew to the other side of the car and tipped over. I thought I heard a noise as if something had fallen out of my bag, but I couldn’t check because the vehicle was moving.
When we arrived at the Church for the funeral, I didn’t check to see if anything had actually fallen out of my bag until I sat down to take out my reading glasses and rosary ring—both were missing. The rosary ring was from Medjugorje, which I had had for more than thirty years and was very dear to my heart. I thought I would look for them later.
At home, after thoroughly searching through my bag and not finding either item, the glasses or the rosary ring, I asked my relatives to contact the taxi driver to see if they fell in his car. They had booked the taxi for me. The reading glasses I bought were only six months old, so they were quite new. But I was most sorry for the little rosary ring because it was very, very precious to me. After all, it was from Medjugorje, with the Blessed Mother, Queen of Peace, on it.
On Monday morning, 25 August 2025, as I prayed the Angelus, all of a sudden our Lord Jesus appeared. Smiling, He said, “Valentina, be at peace. Don’t worry about your glasses, I shall compensate you, and I will provide for you. You can make another pair.”
Two hours later, about nine-thirty in the morning, there was a knock on my door. It was my relatives. They came with an envelope with money to compensate me for my lost glasses. Later that day, I went to organise the purchase of a new pair of prescription glasses, and, amazingly, the cost was exactly the amount my relatives gave me that morning.
But sadly, I could not find my rosary ring even though I searched and searched everywhere.
This morning, as I prepared to go to Holy Mass that day, I put on a jacket that had no pockets, and for some reason, I changed my mind and put on another jacket with pockets so that I could place my tissues in them.
After the Holy Mass and thanksgiving prayers, my friend and I went to the Shopping Centre. As we were walking through the centre, suddenly, to my left, a blue light appeared. I saw the image of the Blessed Mother.
Blessed Mother said, “Valentina, my daughter, put your hand in your left pocket.”
Blessed Mother spoke so loudly that I thought maybe my friend heard her as well, but she didn’t.
I put my hand in the left pocket of my jacket. There was nothing there.
Again, Blessed Mother said, “Put your hand again in your left pocket.”
I again put my hand in my left pocket, and to my shock, I pulled out my lost rosary ring.
I exclaimed, “Blessed Mother, this is a miracle! Where did you find my ring?”
She replied, “I found your ring that you lost in the car, and I brought it to you because I know how dear it is to you and how precious. The glasses that you lost, you can always get another pair made, but the little ring with the rosary, I know how much you appreciate and how many beautiful rosaries you said on it that have come to Heaven to us, so that is more important. It is a spiritual treasure.”
Overwhelmed with gratitude, I exclaimed, “Oh Blessed Mother, I love you and I thank you so much! I thank you from my heart. This is such a treasure.”
Smiling, Blessed Mother said, “I know how much you cherish this rosary ring.”
“And write down everything that I have done for you, so that other people will understand.”
In my heart, I didn’t care too much for my lost glasses because I thought sooner or later I would get a new pair, but I knew I would never go again to Medjugorje, and how am I going to get the rosary ring? It is so precious to me because I pray on the bus, in Church, wherever I go, it is always in my hand. By carrying the rosary ring, I felt that I carry the Blessed Mother—she is such a protection for me, shielding me from the corruption and noise around me, as well as the pushing and shoving. I bless the people with the Holy Rosary as they pass by. And now, Blessed Mother brought it back to me, placing it in my pocket. I still have to pinch myself at the miracle.
I thank you, Blessed Mother, very much for the beautiful gift you returned to me. Looks like Blessed Mother wants me to pray more and more from this rosary ring.
